Health and fitness have always been incredibly important to my family. my father was a positive role model in my life growing in this area, and the idea of using chewing tobacco never appealed to me, "Cody actions." Right now, I continue the rodeo as a of my passions, and at the same time, I can do good in the world and a good example for young children who might deal to me, so I am honored and eager to do "

"We are excited to partner with Cody and risk in the rodeo arena because we believe we can make a real difference."
Brian continues, "Cody is an excellent partner for us. This is the first time that a nonprofit is really happening in a world that is very related to smokeless tobacco use and proactively defend against our messaging to young people is simple. .. Be Smart do not start "
