'In an effort to call attention to the dangers of using smokeless tobacco, The Appalachian Family and Children First Council has proclaimed the week of February 13-19 as "Through with Chew Week."

The public awareness campaign is designed to reduce the use of smokeless tobacco, especially among young people, said Maxine Lewis, community tobacco prevention specialist for the Lawrence County, Ohio, Health Department. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 6.6 percent of senior high school students use smokeless tobacco.'
