Play It Clean: Tobacco-Free Sports You know how great you feel when you are active? Whether you play team sports or you challenge yourself by dancing, running or weight training, there’s nothing like the high you get from pushing your body and having it respond. Regardless of your sport or activity, tobacco works against you. You’ll cough more, you’ll wheeze and you’ll start to feel short of breath. Try telling your friends you couldn’t keep up because you were trying to catch your breath!

Tobacco takes away every health benefit you’ve worked so hard to achieve, and it exposes your friends, family members and other spectators to the deadly effects of second-hand smoke.

People who are tobacco free can often push their bodies to the limit and still feel like they can go further. They bounce back quickly from sport-related injuries.
