Today is ***coDay 🚭

To***co and ni****ne companies deliberately design their products to hook you. Sugars, flavours, and cooling agents all mask the harshness of ni****ne so that you inhale more and get addicted faster.

But the grip of addiction can be broken, and the benefits are felt almost immediately:

⏰In 20 minutes, your heart rate drops.

🫁In 2-12 weeks, your lung function improves.

❤️In 1 year, heart disease risk is cut in half.

Take the next step, break the addiction: https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-no-tobacco-day/2021/quitting-toolkit

Today is National Heat Awareness Day🌞

As temperatures begin to rise, Huron County Public Health is reminding residents about the importance of heat safety and the serious effects extreme heat can have on the body. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke, especially for older adults, young children, outdoor workers, and individuals with chronic health conditions.

Common signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke, can be found below. Taking simple precautions can help prevent serious health complications during periods of extreme heat.

If you or someone you see is exhibiting signs of heat-related illness, get to a cooler place and call for help immediately. More information and first-aid for heat-related illness can be found at https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat-illness.

⚠️An important fire safety reminder as the temps outside are beginning to rise -- if you are installing a window air conditioner, please remember to plug it directly into a wall outlet and not into an extension cord. 🔌

Hello, AC season. Before you cool down, make sure your air conditioner is set up safely. Plug window air conditioners directly into a wall outlet.

Many manufacturers do not allow extension cords. If they are allowed, use the proper type and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
