Dr. Michael Diorio, an Englewood dentist, is well-known for his award winning Quit the Spit presentations that he has been doing for years for schools, sports teams, hospitals and community groups. In fact, his passion for the topic inspired him to compose a rap that he performs frequently about the harms of chewing tobacco. In a recent presentation at Craig Hospital, Dr. Diorio’s rap was captured on video and posted on YouTube. Click here to watch the video. Working with Dr. Diorio, the CDA compiled facts, testimonies and interviews to produce an educational Quit the Spit video for school-aged children and patients.
