I can analyze influences on tobacco use by young people I cannot identify any influences that could lead a young person to use a tobacco product. I can guess what may influence young people to use tobacco. I can give an example of at least one specific influence that could lead a young person to use tobacco products. When given multiple scenarios, I can identify what is influencing the young person to use tobacco products. I can go above or beyond what is taught or expected 3. I can effectively refuse tobacco products. I do not understand what effective refusal is. I understand what refusal is, but am not sure how to do it. I can say no to tobacco products, but cannot give one reason why. I can say no to tobacco products, and give one or more reasons why I am saying no. I can go above or beyond what is taught or expected
