Overview: |
Smokeless tobacco doesn't mean harmless. Chewing tobacco can cause cancer and other problems, just like smoking cigarettes. There's no such thing as a "safe" tobacco product. This resource offers a thorough overview of smokeless tobacco and helps educators convey the following messages to students in middle grades: why people use smokeless tobacco, dangers of using smokeless tobacco, and how you can quit using smokeless tobacco.
This alignment results from the ALEX Health/PE COS Resource Alignment Summit. |
