Students Working Against Tobacco

SWAT Out Tobacco, February 2010

Paxon School for Advanced Studies’ SWAT chapter took it upon themselves to produce a music video that was “catchy” yet educative. The purpose of this SWAT Video is to capture the youth perspective on the dangers of smoking. Throughout the video are facts about the consequences of smoking and even statistics of those affected. In hopes that this video will enlighten the smokers and their households positively…we bring to you SWAT out tobacco!
