Strategies

Match disadvantaged or at-risk youth with volunteer mentors in school or community settings

Offer incentives such as free or discounted bus, rail, or transit passes, reimbursements, partial payments, or pre-tax payroll deductions to encourage individuals’ use of existing public transit

Teach students personal and social skills to avoid tobacco use; led by teachers, health educators, or students in elementary schools, middle schools, or high schools

Provide short-term employment opportunities for youth, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds

Limit promotion, placement, flavoring, or pricing of tobacco products via regulation
