Just Eliminate Lies (JEL)

 

 

 


JEL is a program for high school youth to speak out about the lies that “Big Tobacco” has told and continues to tell.  Students from all of Iowa participate in this program through their communities and school. 

 

JEL is most known for their edgy commercials that make viewers stop and think about tobacco in their community.  They also are the voice of students standing together against big tobacco.

 

Some recent activities from JEL:

· Filling the smoking section of a restaurant that has allows smoking to make it smoke-free.

· Candlelight ceremony in honor of the 1200 victims of tobacco related diseases each day for Great American Smokeout.

· Crime scene representing the 1200 victims of tobacco related disease every year. 

· 1200 Shoes representing the number of shoes that will be left empty as a result of tobacco related disease today.
