In 2008, Liverpool's Capital of Culture year, D-MYST will stage this high profile international event designed to challenge and expose the issue of tobacco imagery in movies aimed at young people as well as showcasing the efforts, power and importance of youth advocacy in tobacco control.
A panel of respected speakers from the US and Europe will include representatives from organisations such as the World Health Organisation.

Kick Butts Day: April 2nd 2008
What's Kick Butts Day?
It's a day for youth to stand out, speak up, and seize control in the fight against tobacco.
