Use of a School Referendum to Deter Teen-Age Tobacco Use.

Males, Mike

Journal of School Health, v62 n6 p229-32 Aug 1992

The referendum, which asked students whether vendors should refuse tobacco sales to minors, follows the example of the Bozeman, Montana, school district in which secondary students and staff supported tobacco free schools.
