Gruen now travels on behalf of Oral Health America's National Spit Tobacco Education Program (NSTEP) and shares with the public the real life consequences of his own spit tobacco use. He is especially effective with young audiences, warning them to stay away from the spit tobacco that he believes caused his cancer.
