Another week, another Myth BUSTED! The nicotine found in cigarettes and other tobacco products like e-cigarettes is very additive, and kids are becoming hooked from these products. It's time to #EndtheTrendMA and #FinishFlavors! #mapoli @tobaccofreemass

It's never too late to quit. Within 2 weeks of quitting tobacco, lung function increases. After 10 years, the risk of lung cancer is half that of a smoker.

Join us across the region tomorrow for more information and giveaways. #notobacco
