VALLEY CITY, N.D. (CCHD) – Ditch the dip with help from your local public health office during Through With Chew Week February 21-27. Smokeless tobacco users are encouraged to make the Great American Spit Out on February 25 their designated quit date. Setting a quit date greatly improves a tobacco user’s chance at success.
Both City-County Health District and Central Valley Health District have the tools and resources for smokeless tobacco users who want to quit tobacco. Both public health units are educating the community about how smokeless tobacco can cause harm and encourage young people never to start using these products.
