Presentation on Chewing Tobacco at RHS

The use of chewing tobacco in the last few years has increased among students at Ridgewood High School, school officials say.

 On January 18, 2011 at 7 p.m in the Media Center at Ridgewood High School, Jamie England from the Center for Alcohol and Drug Resources will present to parents the Facts about Chewing Tobacco.

Manufacturers of smokeless tobacco products are marketing to kids. Some kids think that chewing tobacco is a harmless alternative to smoking cigarettes. Smokeless tobacco is not harmless and can be the cause of throat and mouth cancer.  

Come and learn about smokeless tobacco and how to talk with your child about this dangerous and addictive product. Questions, call the Ridgewood Parks and Rec office at 201-670-5560. Funding for this program is made possible through GCADA, NJ Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, and the Ridgewood Municipal Alliance.
