Associated Press0

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some South Dakota schoolchildren are joining others nationwide Wednesday in an anti-tobacco effort called Kick Butts Day.

The program sponsored by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids encourages kids to stay tobacco-free, call on tobacco companies to stop marketing products to them and urge elected officials to do more to reduce youth tobacco use.

More than 1,000 events are planned nationwide as part of the program. In South Dakota, places taking part in the campaign Wednesday include Spearfish in the Black Hills, Parmelee on the Rosebud Indian Reservation, Ellsworth Air Force Base east of Rapid City, Waubay in the northeast part of the state and Watertown.
