latin american youth center LAYC youth development latino

For years, tobacco companies have targeted young people in their marketing campaigns and advertisement placements.  LAYC's Community Advocates has a message for them: "Enough is Enough!"

"Enough is Enough" is the name of the group's social media campaign aimed at educating the community about tobacco ads and rallying support in making it clear to tobacco companies that this practice must end. Part of the initiative is a mapping project that shows where tobacco retailers place their ads around schools and youth centers.

The Community Advocates launched the campaign at LAYC with food, music, games and prizes, and various in-your-face experiments that demonstrate the consequences of smoking on the body.
