Cultivating critical thinking and activism in our media culture to build healthy and just communities.
NEW DVD-ROM
Created for middle & high school-aged students, Smoke Screen invites young people to learn media literacy by examining tobacco advertising. The fun and engaging fold-out guide has full-color graphics and contains an anticipation guide, word puzzles, questions & vocabulary about the ad biz.  Comes with a free teacher’s guide that offers suggested answers to the questions and answer keys to the puzzles.

Smoke Screen: How Advertisers Cloud the Truth is a major revision of our popular pamphlet first published in 2001.  In addition to the updated information, images and activities, we’ve redesigned the learning guide into a new, fold-out format. 

 Smoke Screen supports state teaching standards and is appropriate to use in language arts, social studies and current events, health, and consumer education classes, as well as in after-school clubs and programs for grades 6-12.
