Smoking Cessation and Education for Lincoln County teens and young adults is a priority for Live Healthy Lincoln County. This picture is of a convenience store advertising to***co products on the front window. We would ask for your support in asking businesses to please place this advertising in the store where teens and younger children don't see it as easily. This was not a Lincoln County store. It was a few counties away. Maybe it shocked me because of the high prices. But it was also BIG and could not be missed. Habits and healthy changes are hard. Especially smoking and chewing. It's easier to never start then to try to quit.
If you are ready to Quit To***co KanQuit is there to help you. Call 1-800-quit-now (784-8669) or go to KSquit.org for more information.
