Project TNT is a normative curriculum that consists of 10 sessions in the first year and a 2 session booster component. It puts strong emphasis on following the curriculum as written. It includes a public commitment not to use tobacco, an ongoing game used to reinforce and preview program concepts and skills as well as to promote classroom management. It helps students understand how they can disagree or say no and still keep their friends.
Prject TNT has been found to reduce initiation and weekly use of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco for at least 2 years.
