*What Happens When You Quit Smoking & Dealing With Withdrawl*

Okaloosa County BCC has joined as part partners with the American Cancer Society to join in the fight against cancer and other health related risks associated with tobacco use.  This year we are excited to begin the challenge with our co-workers to challenge everyone to visit https://www.cancer.org/healthy.html# and learn about the different options available for you and your well-being and health.  Risk Management will send out more information in the coming weeks about the program and all the benefits!
