As part of VPR’s series, Vermont Quits, we look at how tobacco settlement funds have been used in the state to help people kick the habit. Also, we get an update on public meetings surrounding a defunct asbestos mine in Eden and Lowell. And, we bring you the sounds of a unique portable organ.
Smoking
rates in Vermont have been dropping steadily, but 18 percent of adults
are still hooked.
Studies
show that about 70 percent of all smokers want to quit. If you’re one of them, the
Vermont Health Department hopes you’ll check out their newly revamped Quit
Network to find free tips and other help.
