Stand up

Learning how to take the lead, connect with others, and make your voice heard matters. And it’s a lot more fun when you do it with friends. Connect with people who care about the world as much as you do and earn some FACT gear along the way!

Speak out

Standing up for the truth takes bravery. Show the world what you can do. Educating others about the dangers of tobacco and nicotine is just the start. You’ll change yourself. Your school. And a big chunk of the world.

Make a difference

How many people make a lasting impact before they can even vote? FACT teens have helped lower smoking rates, raise tobacco taxes and pass clean air laws, just by standing up for their beliefs.

HEAR FROM REAL LIVE FACTIVISTS

Seems like everybody knows someone who’s gotten addicted or sick, maybe even died, because of tobacco. In Wisconsin, tobacco products kill nearly 8,000 people every year. That’s about 650 people a month. At least 21 someones every single day. Help us change those numbers for good.

"I experienced the loss of one of my closest and most loving family members. However, it was not a sudden tragedy as one may think. I watched one of the people I truly cherished most in my life slowly deteriorate as a result of smoking ONE cigarette a night for years. I wasn't in the country to be with him for his final moments, however, I will never forget the pain I KNEW he had experienced as a result of tobacco. It also hit me hard just how minorities have continued to be targeted by tobacco companies, and effectively caused an irreversible effect on so many communities."

"I have seen peers with vapes and have witnessed them getting caught. When getting blamed it is always their fault. Some students don't know the dangers of using vapes and what these things can do to their bodies. We still don't know the full effects of using these devices and need to reach out and share what we know before our peers, friends and fellow students, fall into the hands of the tobacco company, targeting teens. Sharing our information will help create a better future, one where not so many people will be effected by the side effects of vaping and tobacco."

"Spreading the truth about tobacco and other harmful products such as vapes and cigarettes, is very important to me because most of my family smokes and/or vapes and die before 50. As you can assume, I love my family and wish them a long and happy life, but with the effects of tobacco and other harmful substances I don't think I could get through to them. I don't want other teens or parents to go through that. Spreading the truth and preventing the usage of those substances help me feel safer and better about my community.”
