The Wiregrass Tobacco Free Coalition is highlighting the harmful effects of smokeless tobacco during Through With Chew Week February 17 - 23.Among Alabama adults, almost 8 percent currently use smokeless tobacco. For teenagers, the number is 19 percent. For Through With Chew Week and the Great American Spit Out on Thursday, smokeless tobacco product users are encouraged to quit for at least one day.
