// WHAT IS T.U.P.E.
A structured prevention curriculum the Granite State funds.
T.U.P.E. — Tobacco Use Prevention Education — is a structured prevention curriculum funded across New Hampshire through state and federal sources. Schools deploy T.U.P.E. through their Comprehensive Health Framework alignment, Title IV-A funds, and local health-promotion grants.
Our BMX-themed assembly is a single high-energy intervention inside a broader district T.U.P.E. plan — the moment that anchors the school's tobacco-prevention conversation for the year.
Grant Documentation Provided
We deliver curriculum-alignment documentation, COI, and program descriptions sufficient for inclusion in New Hampshire district health-promotion grant applications.

// REFERENCE
T.U.P.E. FAQ for New Hampshire administrators.
Common questions from NH principals, curriculum coordinators, and district health-promotion leads.
What does T.U.P.E. stand for?
T.U.P.E. stands for Tobacco Use Prevention Education — a structured prevention curriculum funded in New Hampshire through state and federal sources, including the NH K-12 Health Education Frameworks, Title IV-A, and NH Department of Public Health programs.
Is the program grant-eligible in New Hampshire?
Yes. Many NH districts use Comprehensive Health Framework alignment, Title IV-A ESSA funding, and local health-promotion grants to fund the assembly. We provide curriculum-alignment documentation, COI, and program descriptions on request.
What grade levels does it serve?
K-8 with two scripted versions: a K-3 awareness format (body-systems, healthy choices) and a 4-8 prevention-and-refusal format (industry tactics, refusal-skills practice, peer-pressure response).
How does this differ from a vaping prevention program?
T.U.P.E. covers all tobacco products — cigarettes, smokeless, cigars, hookah, and electronic delivery systems. Our standalone Vaping Prevention Program zooms in on e-cigarettes and modern vape devices, ideal for 5-8 audiences.
What setup do you need?
40-by-120 ft hard surface, one power outlet within 150 ft. A gym with 20+ ft ceiling works as rain backup. We arrive with ramps, sound, mics, and generators if needed.
How far ahead should we book?
4-8 weeks for most dates. Health-themed months (Tobacco Free Week, Great American Smokeout, Kick Butts Day in March) fill faster — 8-12 weeks recommended for those campaigns.
