Northern Utah youth unite to fight youth smoking

Cache Valley joins the national “Kick Butts” movement against tobacco use today when youth from Cache and Box Elder schools gather at USU to educate their peers about the dangers of tobacco.

Bree Ann Silcox of Bear River Health said the kids involved are members of the Bear River Governing Youth Council.

“We will be up on the Utah State campus on the quad doing an activity,” says Silcox. “We will have a visual there with some tombstones with some facts about what tobacco use can do to the body and the effects of tobacco.

“And then some education and some games to kind of talk about how to prevent tobacco use and how to quit if you are using.”

The event on the USU quad begins at 4:30 p.m. More than 1,000 such activities are planned across the U.S.
