The S.T.O.P. method is designed to help individuals resist peer pressure regarding tobacco, alcohol, and drug use. Here’s a breakdown of the method:

  • S: Say no firmly in a clear and assertive tone.
  • T: Tell why you are refusing (give your reasons).
  • O: Offer an alternative activity that doesn’t involve substance use.
  • P: Promptly leave the situation if necessary.
