Feb. 17 to 23 is "Through With Chew Week," a campaign to decrease spit tobacco and increase awareness of the negative health effects of using this product. In addition, the "Great American Spitout" is Feb. 21. Tobacco-free quit kits for chewers are available at the VNA offices in Steamboat at 940 Central Park Drive, Suite 101 and in Craig at 745 Russell St. The kits promote the Colorado QuitLine and free support from a trained coach who guides and supports individuals through the quitting process. Research shows you are seven times more likely to end your tobacco habit with the QUITLINE than if you are trying to quit on your own.
Four weeks of free nicotine patches are available, a $100 value. Nicotine gum also is available. Simply call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669). Call the VNA at 871-7664 for further assistance.
