The participation level, commitment and impact of this program are achievements that the 500 plus young participants can be really proud of. To date, more than 250 Oxygen Commando interventions have taken place in schools and public places in fourteen regions, and nearly 30,000 people have heard their message loud and clear: Smoking that stinks – Smoking that kills! A TRAINING DVD FOR OXYGEN COMMANDOS Is it hard to set up an Oxygen Commando squad? Definitely not! Especially now that a DVD is available, filmed last September with Oxygen G U IDE, OW TO tion H a : m Commando e r n è fo do oxyg e in the omman ing tool for us C , D students V train The D ensable its. p n is u d o in d n an at Lake-ofma en Com of Oxyg Two-Mountains High School. The DVD, called Commando oxygène: HOW TO GUIDE, reveals all the tricks of the trade. The DVD is a fantastic teaching tool developed for youth workers and teams of kids who want to set up a commando unit at their school or youth centre. It includes examples of Boisbriand 300 sea cadets: A dynamic Oxygen Commando performance interventions and practical tips from a drama coach, and comments by the young commandos themselves, candidly discussing their experiences and the problems they encountered, the contacts they made, the information they were able to spread and their level of satisfaction. “An amazing group experience!” declares a member of the Oxygen Commando group at Lake-of-Two-Mountains High School, summarizing the group’s feelings. j The basic message being put forward by young Oxygen Commandos is that secondhand smoke is not only dangerous, it’s deadly! How can the word be spread to peers, parents and other adults? How can smokers be told, “Smoke if you want to but don’t hurt the people around you“? The Oxygen Commando use surprise tactics to spread information through skits and spectacular guerilla theatre to attract attention and provide information in a way that hopefully disturbs their audience and makes them question their deeply held convictions...

Quebec has come a long way in restricting tobacco use over the past 30 years. Way back in 1976, Environment Minister Dr. Victor Goldbloom, disturbed by mounting scientific evidence connecting cancer with cigarette smoking, called for a study on smoking in public places. “We are “We are witness to the first efforts witness to the first efforts of anti-smoking of anti-smoking groups to define groups to define and recognize their rights and have them respected in public places and recognize their rights and have and vehicles,” he said to the Legislative Council, asking the government them respected in public places to examine the advisability of potential and vehicles.” legislation limiting tobacco use in Quebec. After countless briefs and endless lobbying, public awareness and education campaigns, symposiums, a variety of offensives and procedures, the time has finally come. Unanimously adopted on June 16, 2005 by the members of the National Assembly – from all political parties – the new Tobacco Act will govern the use, sale and promotion of tobacco products throughout Quebec. Starting Wednesday, May 31, 2006, smoking will be banned in nearly every public place, including bars and restaurants. The law will also fine people who sell tobacco products to minors, and prohibit advertising that directly or indirectly associates the use of tobacco with a particular lifestyle. Four months later, on September 1, 2006, tobacco in any form will be prohibited from elementary and secondary school grounds. x “We’re not in the vanguard by any means,” said Minister Philippe Couillard about this new and improved Tobacco Act, which clearly has more teeth than its 1998 version. While it’s true that other provinces are way ahead of Quebec on this issue, anti-smoking groups are still very pleased with the Tobacco Act, which is a big step forward overall. ❖ Use the song or its instrumental version in audiovisual documents ❖ Leave a copy of the DVD-CD in the school library where it can be seen by large numbers of students ❖ Lend the DVD-CD to Youth Coalition members so they can watch it at home with their friends ❖ Use the examples of other Youth Coalition projects to attract the interest of kids in the school or youth centre ❖ Organize a special viewing at the school or youth centre to recruit new Youth Coalition members ❖ Use excerpts from the CD/DVD (videos, Musique Plus VJ interviews, etc.) to make kids more aware of smoking issues and to organize debates on the subject ❖ Use the instrumental version of the song Penses-y même pas! for karaoke events WE ’ RE HERE FOR YOU The Youth Coalition bulletin and web site www.lagangallumee.com are important tools to communicate with youth and youth workers.
