“Tobacco and Hollywood” Project Winners

During the Red Ribbon Youth Training at Huntington Beach High School (HBHS), on Oct. 6^th, 2007, HBHS student, Melissa Markowitz participated in the County of Orange Health Care Agency, Tobacco Use Prevention Program’s “Tobacco in Hollywood Project” workshop.

The purpose of the project is to educate the youth about the influence of tobacco in movies and the impact it has on them. Youth have the opportunity to create cartoons that help counter the presence of tobacco in movies and films. Over a hundred cartoons produced by youth throughout Orange County were received and judged by community members, health professionals, and youth. Melissa Markowtiz, HBHS student, and Faith De La Cruz, Buena Park High School student, are two of the Top 10 Winners! Other winners included students from Sonora High School and the Orange County High School for the Arts. Congratulations to all youth who participated!
