Kick Butts Day

National Kick Butts Day is Wednesday March 19, 2014! Although it is only one day out of the year, the goal is to make every day Kick Butts Day. The day empowers youth in our community to stand out, speak up and seize control against tobacco companies targeting youth. Visit Kickbuttsday.org to get ideas about encouraging youth to speak up.

In Jefferson County, The Tobacco-Free Jeffco Alliance & local youth Breath Easy (BE) Teams are hosting a Kick Butts Day Dinner and educational presentation. Come and enjoy a complimentary dinner and learn about how the tobacco industry is targeting youth with SWEET, CHEAP & DEADLY tobacco products. The dinner will be held March 19, 2014 from 5 -7 pm at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center in the Carnation Room. Please RSVP by March 14 to tobaccofree@jeffco.us .

If you’ve been trying to kick the habit, Jefferson County Public Health has resources to help. Click here for more information. The Quit Line, 1-800-Quit-Now is also a great resource for those who are on the path to quitting!
