DTFSC Supports Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Quit Smoking

The following is from Moving Starke County Forward:
Check out this article that talks about the latest Surgeon General report from WKVI. http://www.wkvi.com/local/dtfsc-supports-surgeon-generals-call-to-action-to-quit-smoking/  
Here's a sad reality coming from the actual Surgeon General report being told by the Director of the CDC. 
"As a physician, when I think about smoking, I recall the patients I have cared for. The man who had a leg amputated. The woman who had to gasp for every single breath that she took. The man with heart disease who hoped to see his son graduate, but didn't live long enough to do so. That’s the reality of smoking that health care providers see every day." 
Please share any tips to help Starke County move forward in becoming tobacco free.
