Youth Action Team
Spokane Teens Against Tobacco (STAT)
Spokane Teens Against Tobacco (STAT) is a peer-education group made up of local teens from high schools all over Spokane. They educate their peers and younger students on the dangers of tobacco use and help perform compliance checks with local retailers. STAT members also plan and take part in many other events such as Great American SmokeOut, Kick Butts Day, and Relay for Life.
