Happy New Year!

Every year, everyone makes promises to themselves to somehow improve themselves. Resolutions.

Last year, I resolved to lose a lot of weight and I did. This year, I am still weighing my options.

Sticking to resolutions can be hard. I know!

According to USA.gov, quitting smoking is the 3rd most common resolution behind the weight thing and volunteering.

But no one needs to do it alone. And if you are a smoker (or know of one), there is help too!

The Anne Arundel County Department of Health has put together a free (yes, FREE) stop smoking kit and you can get it here...or by clicking the links over on the right!

A New Year is always a good place to start for a new beginning. If you are a smoker who is trying to quit or know someone that is, please check it out or pass it along!

Happy 2017!
