SEVEN VS. FOUR ESCAPE—3

In fact, they would probably be surprised to learn that, on average, less than one out of every four people smoke cigarettes. Even if it seems like all their friends are smoking, they can beat the odds and stay tobacco-free. Here’s an activity to show them that even when they may be outnumbered, they can still triumph.
