I received an email the other day from the folks putting on the 7th National Spit Tobacco Summit which KillTheCan.org is a proud sponsor of! I’ve had some questions on the forums about what the Summit will entail this year, who from the KTC team will be attending and if the show is open [...]
The sad reality of the world we live in is that there is BIG money in Big Tobacco. They’ve got billions of dollars to throw around in the form of advertising. Over the last few years I think it’s safe to say that the general population is getting more in tuned to the dangers of [...]

In addition to the outstanding educational program that was put on by the show organizers, we had an absolutely tremendous time checking out the city of Austin and visiting with some fellow quitters. Since that [...]
I received an email from a user the other day inquiring about nicotine levels in Skoal Xtra. After doing some Googling of my own, I found out that it’s very difficult to find specific information. I told the user that I’d do some additional research for and get back to him. In addition [...]
We got back from the National Smokeless Summit in Austin, Texas last night and I wanted to jot down some thoughts. Klark has done the same thing over at Quit4Today. This was the first time that KillTheCan.org has attended an event as an organization so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I’d [...]
