As a kickâ€"off to the campaign, Kick‘n the Butt posters, pamphlets and buttons will be distributâ€" ed this week in the schools to acquaint students with the objectives and to encourage their participation in the project. Feel good, a film produced especially for the campaign will also be shown during lunch hours and the week‘s events will culminate with a dance at Victoria Park Pavilion Friday evening. We are trying to tell them that it‘s okay not to smoke. There are other things you can do to be cool,"" Anderson continued. Work on the Kick‘n the Butt campaign began last fall when sponsors selected Kitchenerâ€"Waâ€" terloo as one of three test communities in Since peer pressure is considered to be one of the major reasons most kids start smoking, organizers of the campaign hope they can motivate them to stop in the same way by emphasizing the program‘s "teenagers helping teenagers‘‘ theme. The campaign, sponsored by the Ministry of Health in conjunction with the Ontario Heart Foundation and organized locally by 15 area high school students is designed "to promote the idea of a healthy, nonâ€"smoking lifestyle for students between the ages of 13 to 17,"" explained WCI student Mark Anderson, a member of the committee. c 3 *A . ,N:“ C + =» ‘ ?
