Panhandle Public Health District (PPHD) once again has partnered with area students to spread the word on the dangers of tobacco use of any kind. A campaign on PPHD’s Facebook page featured six athletes from around the Panhandle who are leading the charge in their schools and communities on vowing to not use tobacco or vape products.The athletes highlighted included:
• Grace Dean of Bridgeport, “I don’t want to waste the life I have been given.” “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” -1 Corinthians 6:19-20
• Kanon Palmer of Sidney, “I don’t vape or use tobacco because I want to stay focused on school and athletics.These habits can have serious health consequences and interfere with my future plans.”
