Well, the rest of your life up to
the point when you are
diagnosed with cancer. I get what
you’re thinking. You’re 16 — you’
re invincible, just like all your
buddies. If you were to jump
ahead 33 years, you couldn’t
write a better dream than the one
your life is going to be.

Dear 16-year-old Curt,

yes, like I did, you’ll be addicted for the
rest of your life.

Tobacco 21 or T21 is a fairly new tobacco control effort in Arizona however it is gathering momentum. On 06/02/2016 Yavapai Anti-Tobacco Coalition of
Youth (YATCY) educated the Cottonwood City Council to pass an ordinance to raise the age to purchase tobacco products and e-cigarettes from 18 to 21.
Cottonwood is Arizona's 1st T21 Community! Effective 08/11/17 we are very proud to announce that the Cochise County Youth Health Coalition (DCrew)
educated the Douglas City Council to also pass an ordinance to raise the age to purchase tobacco products and e-cigarettes from 18 to 21. Douglas is
Arizona's 2nd T21 Community! Effective 09/01/19 we are again very proud to announce that Coconino Anti-Tobacco Students (CATS) and Arizona
