2010 Youth & Tobacco Conference

ASH Scotland & STCA
Youth and Tobacco Conference
25 March 2010 Dynamic Earth

This conference sets out to inform and inspire those interested in and working with young people in a range of youth settings. This includes youth work, education, residential care and health workers, who have a role to play discouraging the uptake of smoking and tobacco use by young people and encouraging them to quit. The conference will encourage delegates to share practice, identify new ideas and common goals and build new partnerships and networks.
