As Healthy Long Month comes to a close, we spoke to the Pike County Health Department Director, Tammy Riley, on what Kentuckians can do to not only improve their lungs, but their overall health. Over the last 10 years, we've gone from 34% to now, we're down to 29% adult smokers in this county. So we're seeing some improvement. And from a public health perspective, we provide a robust tobacco education program in our community education department. There's a lot of grant dollars and taxpayer dollars that go into educating the community about having healthy lungs and healthy behaviors related to healthy lungs. As Kentucky has the second highest smoking rate in the country, Pike County has made it their mission to offer programs to help smokers quit and prevent future generations from picking up the habit. We offer and this is at no cost to Pike County residents. We offer the American Lung Association's Freedom from Smoking program right here at the Health Department. We offer at no cost to participants, make a team replacement products, group support. We can offer that virtually when necessary. We also offer a, the only one of its kind. It's an American Lung Associated Approved U tobacco cessation program. It's called NOT, N-O-T, not on tobacco. And we work with the school systems with that program too to try to reinforce their smoke-free tobacco policies.
