Howells Community Catholic Schools and the Tobacco Free Colfax County coalition present a radio spot recorded to highlight the dangers of secondhand smoke.

This radio spot is one of four that are being aired this week in the Platte and Colfax county areas. It was chosen as a winner of contest to engage youth in reducing tobacco use run by Tobacco Free Platte County and Tobacco Free Colfax County to recognize Kick Butts Day.

Four radio spots were chosen as winners of the contest. In recognition of Kick Butts Day, one radio spot will be recognized at healtheducation.org each day this week.

Kick Butts Day, Wednesday, March 23, is a day of activism that empowers youth to take action against tobacco use at more than 2,000 events from coast to coast. Kick Butts Day was initiated in 1995 by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.
