Through With Chew Week

As part of the effort in raising awareness about chewing tobacco, Act-Up set up a table at West Campus High School where we had a really good turn out of students. The students participated in a little contest that we had going on about chewing tobacco and other hazards of smoking. They won some t-shirts as prizes.
