Everyone involved in the event froze 54 times to represent the estimated 54 Pennsylvanians that die everyday due to tobacco related illness. 300 youth are expected to attend this event, so come out and support our independence from tobacco.

History

Created in 2001, BUSTED! is Pennsylvania's official anti-tobacco youth movement. BUSTED! started with 400 high school students, ages 14-17, who got together because they shared a common goal: the elimination of manipulation by Big Tobacco. BUSTED!'s mission is to band together to keep friends and family from becoming victims of tobacco.

Mission Statement
Every day you're being targeted by industries who want to take your money, change your mind, and tell you how to live. Stand Up - Don't buy the image, Speak Out - Challenge the messages, Do Something - empower yourself and your friends! BUSTED! members meet in their high schools as a BUSTED! club, or as a part of an existing group (like SADD or TATU). BUSTED! members are trained in anti-tobacco activism and counter-marketing, and then take that knowledge in to their schools and communities with anti-tobacco events. (Click on "see events" to see what Ridley, Penncrest and The Country Day School of the Scared Heart have already done, and the news coverage they have gotten!)
