T.A.T.U. (Teens Against Tobacco Use) -  Teens Against Tobacco Use (T.A.T.U.) groups are established in all DeKalb County High Schools.  This group's purpose is to influence youngsters to avoid tobacco use and become advocates for a tobacco-free America.  These teens are trained as peer tutors to educate younger students about the harmful effects of tobacco and why they chose to be tobacco free.  T.A.T.U. concentrates on 5 components

1. Developing skills to teach younger children about tobacco use and
   become advocates for a tobacco-free community.
2. Understand and identify the positive aspects of being tobacco free and
   realize that the majority of teens and adults do NOT smoke.
3. Understand how tobacco advertising and promotions deceive youth.
4. Understand how getting hooked on tobacco destroys youth's freedom and control over their lives.
5. Develop self-confidence.  T.A.T.U. is sponsored by the American Cancer Society, The American Heart Association, and the American Lung Association.
