Tobacco Prevention Series
Spit Tobacco Exposed (#104)
This program presents a strong and memorable message that the use of “smokeless” or spit tobacco can kill and kill quickly. Using interviews with users, former users and cancer patients, the video reveals that chewing tobacco is a disgusting habit that often causes serious health problems, and puts young people at great risk to early disease and death. Stark footage shows some of the devastating damage that spit tobacco or “snuff” does to teeth, gums and mouth.
