They had informative booths, educational games, all sorts of anti-tobacco messages from their poster contest, giveaways and more.  Over 2000 groups participated in the Kick Butts Day nationwide.

According to the CDC, over three million adolescents smoke cigarettes and every single day 3500 teenagers will try their first cigarette.
