According to the Maryland Youth Tobacco Survey, about one out of four high school youth in Calvert use tobacco products. Tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable deaths in the United States so with funding from the Maryland Cigarette Restitution Fund, Calvert Library and Calvert County Health Department hosted a contest for teens to produce public service announcements to dissuade youth from using tobacco. Twenty-two youth participated in the contest! There were 67 people at the Red Carpet event with Roz Plater from ABC News as the celebrity emcee. The event included a photo booth, swag bags, and refreshments sponsored by the Maryland Cigarette Restitution Fund. The venue was decorated by the Calvert Library Teen Advisory Council of Students (TACOS) and they were there to meet and greet in their formal gowns and tuxedos.
