Project TNT is designed to target the primary causes of cigarette smoking, smokeless tobacco use, and cigar and pipe
smoking among teens. The program's main emphasis is on changing normative beliefs and perceptions of prevalence of
use, and on teaching decision-making, effective communication and refusal assertion skills to increase self-efficacy
to not begin use. The curriculum provides detailed information about the health consequences of tobacco and addresses
topics to enhance self-confidence, counteracting advertising images and social activism to change norms, and decision
making/public commitment.
Project TNT is a comprehensive program conducted in the school classroom for youths in grades five through 9. The
core curriculum is delivered over 10 consecutive days. Each session is approximately one 45 to 50 minutes each. A
two-session booster is conducted approximately one year after the original curriculum is implemented.
