--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)

    Who:    truth(sm), the largest anti-tobacco campaign for teens and
            the 2002 INFKT truth(sm) Tour appear at the Vans Warped

    What:   The 2002 INFKT truth(sm) Tour with a stop at the Vans
            Warped Tour in East Boston, MA. INFKT truth(sm) is an
            action-packed, anti-tobacco tour, which runs through
            September 2002 with venues in seven major cities:
            New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Kansas City,
            Seattle, and Denver. The INFKT truth(sm) Tour is comprised
            of approximately 70 youth who travel to some of the
            summer's hottest teen venues with 13 state-of-the-art
            truth(sm) trucks.

            In addition to the truth(sm) truck, the Boston stop will
            also include the "truth(sm) booth," a portable video
            recording studio that allows visitors to record
            twenty-seven second videos which they can access online
            and spread virally, via email, to friends.

    When:   Thursday, August 15, 2002 from 11:00 am - 7:00 pm

    Where:  Suffolk Downs Race Track
            Rte 1A
            East Boston, MA

    Why:    The event provides an excellent opportunity for youth to
            hang with truth(sm), have some fun and get the low-down on
            Big Tobacco.


The bottom line is that truth(sm) gives teens facts about the marketing tactics of the tobacco industry and about tobacco products. Once teens have the facts, they can make their own decisions about tobacco use. The effort is funded by the American Legacy Foundation The American Legacy Foundation (ALF)[1][2][3] is a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing teen smoking and encouraging smokers to quit. , which was created by the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement between the tobacco industry and attorneys general of 46 states.
