General Description of Activity
A teen dressed in a Grim Reaper outfit stands outside a place of business that sells tobacco products. The Grim Reaper represents Big Tobacco and talks to individuals coming and going about the manipulation of Big Tobacco: (tobacco is more addictive than heroin) and anti-tobacco messages (1 in 5, 4,200). It is important not to pick on smokers. They are the victims!!! The Grim Reaper can pass out information regarding state cessation programs, clean indoor air regulations, and other issues of importance to the local community.
Materials Needed
- Grim Reaper costume with "Big Tobacco" sign on chest
- 5 crew members to help distribute information
- Thank you cards
- Permission from the landowner to perform this commotion
Best Place to Perform Commotion
- Tobacco shops
- Convenience stores
- Grocery stores
NOTE: You must get permission from the property owner. Since the tobacco shops, convenience stores and grocery stores will most likely NOT give you permission to harass their customers, it is best to find one of these stores where there is land adjacent to it that is either public property or the owner gives you permission to use it.
