Education
The WSMA supports strong educational programs, from kindergarten through
the 12th grade, to help pre-teens, adolescents, and young adults avoid the
use of tobacco products, including smokeless tobacco. The WSMA encourages
appropriate school authorities to prohibit the use of all tobacco products
by students, faculty, and coaches during the school day and during other
school related activities. (Res 6, A-86) (Reaffirmed A-23)
The WSMA endorses and promotes the development of programs that educate
teenage women from initiating tobacco use. (Res A-4, A-95) (Reaffirmed
