Ventura County Public Health's "Bus of Tobacco Horrors" is a one-of-a-kind mobile hands-on educational exhibit that graphically teaches 6th grade students about the impacts of tobacco use and secondhand smoke. When touring the bus, trained peers educate their classmates about: the physical dangers of tobacco use, how the tobacco industry targets women and girls, the effects of secondhand smoke and the influence and increase of smoking in the movies. Surveys of the peer educators show a 20% increase in knowledge of how people are being targeted to use tobacco and a 50% increase in awareness of the amount of smoking in the movies.
