UH Medical Students Spread Anti-Tobacco Message

Mark with 3rd Year Med Student Kristin Sawai from UHMedNow

A dozen white-coated students deployed to the State Capitol to take part in the annual “Kick Butts” day, which spotlights organizations working to prevent smoking.


In addition to staffing a table on the capitol’s 4th floor, our students went door-to-door among offices at the legislature with an important additional message: physicians trained by the John A. Burns School of Medicine are on the front lines of health care throughout the state, every day, treating the consequences of tobacco use.
