Smoke-Free: The Butts Out Scavenger Hunt for Tobacco Cessation
Guest Columnist: Michelle Callahan
|
|
Hello Students!
For November, the Health Promotion and Wellness office is focusing on tobacco cessation, bringing awareness to the benefits of quitting smoking, vaping, or tobacco use. Some utilize tobacco due to ties to their cultural or spiritual background. However, commercial tobacco use (e.g., using tobacco products made and sold by companies) is a global social equity issue. While progress has been made, companies behind commercial tobacco production continue to strategically target folks from vulnerable communities in the U.S. and across the globe. We can continue to learn about this topic to conscientiously advocate for policies that help folks live their healthiest lives while respecting traditional or spiritual reasons for smoking or using tobacco.
To learn more, join our office's "Butts Out Scavenger Hunt," an educational scavenger hunt to learn more about the impacts of smoking, vaping, or tobacco use. Find the nine educational placards across the undergraduate campus, read the information, scan the QR code, and answer the accompanying questions to potentially win a prize!
Follow our Instagram (@lclark_wellness) for updates and hints on where some of these placards are hiding. If you would like to talk more about improving your health and wellness, you can reach out to [email protected].
Until next time folks!

November 14, Teach-In on Palestine and Israel: Learning and Listening Together: 3:30 - 5:00 p.m., Miller 105. The current tragedy in Israel and Palestine highlights and perpetuates acute suffering in the region. The reverberations of this tragedy are being felt around the world and at Lewis & Clark. We believe that exploring the multiple historical trajectories, intersecting perspectives, and possible futures that frame the tragedy can be one step in examining our own positions and understanding those of others in our community. This teach-in considers how scholarship in history, anthropology, religious studies, psychology, and other fields can help to reflect on the politics and ethics of justice, reconciliation, and peace.
