The Great American Smokeout – November 17th, 2011 -- Integrating the discussion into your classroom

The Great American Smokeout 11/17/11 Integrating The Discussion Into Your Classroom

In This Issue The Great American Smokeout CYAN - Fav Website ACS - American Cancer Society How To Quit 2nd hand smoke Helpful reference links CA Smoking Rates How to contact us Milestogodrugeducation.com The month of November brings us one of the most proactive topics of the year. The third Thursday of November (the week before Thanksgiving) marks an annual event called the Great American Smokeout. The American Cancer Society (ACS) challenges Americans to stop smoking for 24 hours to kick off what they hope will be a change in lifestyle that will last forever. It all began in the mid 70's when Massachusetts, Minnesota and California presented public challenges for smokers to give up their cigarettes. In 1976, the California division of the ACS successfully encouraged nearly one million smokers to quit for the day. The annual event has flourished, and each year smokers choose this day to mark the beginning of the end of their smoking. We encourage you to integrate this topic into your classroom discussions. We have provided several ways to do this below. Here is our new favorite website. The California Youth Advocacy Network has updated their website to include a Youth Section filled with great information and resources for your class projects. Be sure to look at their Tobacco and Hollywood Campaign - working to eliminate tobacco use from youth-rated films. Integrate the discussion: Create your own school advertising campaign to help others learn. Integrate this topic for the week in art, homeroom, health, advisors, technology/media class etc. Here are some tips from the American Cancer Society (ACS) website: In 2009 "The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act" was signed into law and gives the FDA the authority to regulate the sale, manufacturing, and marketing of tobacco products and protects children from tobacco industry's marketing practices. On the ACS website they have a fantastic calculator that can tell a smoker how many cigarettes they smoke per day, month or year and how much it costs them to smoke. Integrate the discussion as a classroom project for math, health, homeroom etc. One of our schools made a spinning wheel of death using cigarette smoking as a basis for mathematical calculations. How To Quit Cancer.org (Guide to quitting) http://www.californiasmokershelpline.org/ Make the decision to quit * Set a quit date and choose a help plan * Learn how to handle withdrawal * Staying quit (maintenance) Research shows that smokers are most successful in kicking the habit when they have some means of support, such as: * nicotine replacement products * counseling * stop-smoking groups * telephone smoking cessation hotlines * prescription medicine to lessen cravings * guide books * encouragement and support from friends and family members How To Help A Friend - Many People say "It Is One Of The Hardest Drugs To Quit!" As a friend or family member of a smoker, you are in an uncomfortable situation. Tobacco smoking damages nearly every organ in the human body, is linked to at least 15 different cancers including: lung, larynx (voice box), oral cavity (mouth, tongue, and lips), pharynx (throat), esophagus, stomach, pancreas, cervix, kidney, bladder, acute myeloid leukemia. You should know that it may take several attempts to quit and relapse is part of the process for some people. With each relapse, the smoker can become more disillusioned. Encourage them to set another date to quit. The sooner they try again and the longer they remain smoke-free each time will increase their confidence and success. *Integrate the discussion - Have a classroom discussion about how difficult it is to help someone to quit. Practice how to use "I" statements and research available methods of quitting in your community. Does your library, counseling or health/nurse office have available information? Secondhand smoke - "A known human carcinogen (cancer causing agent)" If the smoker claims they aren't concerned about their own health, they should consider here is what family members are up against as a consequence of living with a smoker. Secondhand smoke comes from sidestream smoke (smoke that comes from the end of the lit cigarette, pipe or cigar) and mainstream smoke (smoke that is exhaled by a smoker). In the United States alone, each year it is responsible for: * An estimated 46,000 deaths from heart disease in non-smokers who live with smokers. * About 3,400 lung cancer deaths in non-smoking adults. * Other breathing problems in non-smokers, including coughing, mucus, chest discomfort, and reduced lung function. * Up to 300,000 lung infections (such as pneumonia and bronchitis) in children younger than 18 months of age, which result in 7,500 to 15,000 hospitalizations. * Increases in the number and severity of asthma attacks in about 200,000 to 1 million children who have asthma. *More than 750,000 middle ear infections in children. *Secondhand smoke may be related to breast cancer. Integrate the discussion: Make a list of all the ways that people can accidentally be around secondhand smoke and a list of all the ways to avoid it. Work as a group to find polite ways to excuse yourself from a smoking person, room or area without insulting the smoker or hurting their feelings. Pets and cigarette smoke It's not just the humans that smokers should worry about; their pets are inhaling the smoke as well. (http://www.tobaccofreeutah.org/smokingpets.htm) has a page explaining the toxins that our pets are exposed to. If you have a loved one who is ready to quit smoking, they don't have to wait another year to quit. In an attempt to reduce the 5.4 million yearly deaths from tobacco-related health problems, World No Tobacco Day (sponsored by the World Health Organization since 1987) is observed around the world on May 31st. Cats are known to get cancer from licking the tar off of their fur when cleaning themselves. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/07/020730075305.htm Other references for help: American Heart Association - Telephone: 1-800-AHA-USA-1 (1-800-242-8721) Internet Address: www.americanheart.org American Lung Association - Telephone: 1-800-LUNG-USA (1-800-586-4872) Internet Address: www.lungusa.org Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) -Internet Address: www.epa.gov Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - Office on Smoking and Health Internet Address: www.cdc.gov/tobacco/ National Cancer Institute -Telephone: 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) Internet Address: www.cancer.gov Smokefree.gov -(Info on state phone-based quitting programs) Telephone: 1-800-QUITNOW (1-800-784-8669) - Internet Address: www.smokefree.gov Californians Unite California proudly has the second lowest smoking rate (11.9% of adults smoke - CDPH 2010) in the country. With positive and gentle encouragement we could be the leaders of the nation in smoke free communities. If you have a loved one who is not ready to quit, plant the seed and put it on the calendar to quit the next time the Great American Smokeout or World No Tobacco Day comes around.

Pot Candy Alert - THC Lace Halloween Candy Alert

THC (Pot/Marijuana) Laced Halloween Candy Alert In the old days, we were worried about needles and razor blades in our children's Halloween candy. Now we have something else to watch out for... pot laced candy. We live in a world of the easy-to-get medical marijuana license, so parents of teens keep an eye out for unusual smelling or tasting candy that raises suspicion in your teen's candy bag. Watch for easy to confuse packaging that mimics common foods and products. Melissa McBride of ABC News Los Angeles provided an excellent report on Friday, 10/28/11 with the LA Sheriff's Department linked below http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=8409380 Items discussed in this report: Candy, soda, chocolate, lollypops, cheese crackers, pretzel snacks.

Click on the image for more information Parents need to re-think how they deal with medications in the home. In our new book, The Mother's Checklist of Drug Prevention, we went so far as to suggest: Maybe we should start calling the medicine chest the "potential to kill my children drug overdose, addiction, and death locker" instead, and see if attitudes about the compounds kept there change. Below is a section about medications from our new book: Establish a Pattern: Medicine and OTC Drugs Talk to your children about the fact that medicines are drugs, and that we don't need to be afraid of them, but we do need to respect their powers to help and to harm. Make it a rule: Your children are not allowed to take any medicine, no matter what kind, unless you know about it and have given permission for it to be used. Teach your children to check for expiration dates. This includes commonly used medications like Tylenol, Advil and Aleve, etc. If you take expired medicine, it might not work as well as it should, which could lead to more frequent or larger doses than are safe. Some medicines, such as tetracycline, become toxic after the expiration date. Teach your children the importance of following the directions that come with medications. As a first step: You know that folded piece of paper you pull out of the box and immediately chuck into the garbage? Stop doing that! There is a wealth of information about dosage and safe use on it that you should take the time to read. At a minimum, you should read all sections that have anything to do with dose, safety, warnings, dangers, and especially a section called "contraindications," which warns you about other drugs, foods, and beverages that should not be taken at the same time the medicine is used. If your children are too young to read, at least let them see and hear you read the directions aloud. Teach them to follow directions for medicine to the letter. We know it's really hard to stand by and watch your children suffer when they are sick or in pain, but for young children, sometimes the medicine is worse than the symptoms. In the past few years, the FDA has issued numerous warnings directing parents to stop using cold medications for children under the age of two. Thousands of emergency room visits and dozens of deaths have been reported as a result of reactions to these medications. In 2011, new FDA warnings also cautioned against the use of solutions or gels which contain benzocaine on children under two, due to the risk of a rare but possibly fatal condition that limits the amount of oxygen their red blood cells can carry. The most commonly used medicines of this type are drops used to reduce the pain associated with teething in infants. Talk to your children about the dangers of sharing medications, either by taking medicine intended for others or by giving medicine intended for them to other children. Reading labels doesn't stop at medicines. Help your children to read and understand other labels as well. Energy drinks are currently not required to list the amount of caffeine they contain, although some do in an effort to draw in people looking for a big jolt of caffeine. Labels on foods list ingredients by their predominance, with the highest percentages first, so if sugar, high fructose corn syrup or other sugary ingredients are high up on the list, you can be pretty sure it's not health food. Kelly also adds in her classes on reading labels, "If you can't pronounce it, you should think twice about putting it in your mouth."
