Lake County Minority Tobacco Prevention Coalition

Lake County Minority Tobacco Prevention Coalition The NWI Health Dept. Cooperative is the Lead Agency for our local Tobacco Prevention Program here in Lake County.

Our objective is to help create clean air environment for the health and safety of our Lake County Communities. Our program provides education and awareness to our residents about the hazards of tobacco products and its use. We provide smokers with the tools to quit smoking called the "Indiana Tobacco Quitline" or call 1-800-QUITNOW program. Our services extend to youth and pregnant women as well.

This is a free resource that can be used by all Indiana residents that smoke and have a desire to quit. We can all agree that tobacco use increases the risk of heart and lung disease, the risk of several cancers are increased, and secondhand smoke is harmful to children. The use of tobacco not only affects a smoker's health, it also has an affect on them socially, financially,and psychologically.

We often talk about Humans and how to***co effects their health. But what about the health of Bees? Today on World Bee Day let me inform you about the Bee Facts. Did you know too much smoke can literally drive bees out of a hive, into the grass where the queen might be injured or lost. Too much smoke can make the bees aggressive and confused. Too much smoke damages honey – beeswax is a fatty acid which absorbs odours.

Happy Mothers Day from your local to***co control coalition.
