@HMP403_PH These plates are in the dinning halls on campus and they promote healthy eating by separating the plate in sections by fruits, veggies, whole grains and proteins. #PHin48hours
@HMP403_PH There are tons of cigarettes on the ground around campus and we know that those obviously aren't good for our health yet people still smoke them. #PHin48hours
@HMP403_PH Reminder for the the blood drive happening. This is public health because we can donate blood to help unhealthy people who need it. #PHin48hours
@HMP403_PH FDA has 4 approved uses of antibiotics in food, prevention of disease, control of disease, treatment of disease and growth promotion, although they are trying to make it not okay for growth promotion
@HMP403_PH Cigarette companies spend billions of dollars on advertising their products. I believe if there was less advertising for them and even more anti smoking and anti tobacco advertising it would decrease the amount of the smokers we have in the US #phtopics_2017
@HMP403_PH Not only are cigarettes bad for you, but they also cost a ton of money. The average pack of cigarettes cost around five dollars, but with state tax the total cost is a little over six dollars. People are essentially paying to get diseases #phtopics_2017
@HMP403_PH Another thing that the public health system is doing to decrease smoking is creating products that are designed to help people quit smoking like nicotine patches for example #phtopics_2017
@HMP403_PH There are a lot of really good anti smoking organizations and anti smoking ads out there https://t.co/3x2aM3Jv2U is an example of this. #phtopics_2017
@HMP403_PH Just over 26 out of 100 adults who live below the poverty level smoke whereas just under 14 of every 100 adults who are above the poverty line are smokers (CDC) #phtopics_2017
@HMP403_PH Crazy how location effects people so much. Surprising to hear them say they thought diabetes was a natural part of getting old #badsugarreact
