World No To***co Day raises awareness about the harmful effects of to***co use and encourage people to quit. To***co remains a leading cause of preventable disease and death, and many individuals, especially youth, begin using ni****ne products at an early age.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasizes protecting young people from ni****ne addiction. Education, prevention programs, and community support all play an important role in reducing to***co use.

Quitting to***co has immediate and long-term benefits. Heart rate and blood pressure improve quickly, lung function increases over time, and the risk of conditions like lung cancer and heart disease decreases. Quitting also helps protect others from secondhand smoke.

It’s never too early or too late to live to***co-free.

Lead can harm a child's growth, behavior, and ability to learn. Foods high in calcium, iron, and Vitamin C can help prevent lead poisoning.

Calcium - Makes it hard for the lead to enter the body. Examples include, dairy products, sweet potatoes, and dried fruits.🧀

Iron - Protects from the harmful effects of lead. Examples include eggs, peanut butter, lean meats, fish, seafood, and whole grain breads and cereals.🐟

Vitamin C - Helps the body absorb iron and calcium better. Examples include peppers, fruits, tomatoes, and potatoes. 🍅

Protect yourself from Legionnaires' Disease this summer!

Legionnaires’ disease is caused by Legionella bacteria, which grow best in warm, stagnant water and spread through tiny water droplets or mist that people breathe in. Common home sources include hot tubs, showerheads, humidifiers, CPAP equipment, and plumbing that sits unused for long periods.
