Think ni****ne helps you focus or relax?

That “relief” is often just your body easing withdrawal.

Meanwhile, ni****ne pouches can:
• Train your brain to rely on ni****ne
• Cause receding gums & mouth sores
• Lead to higher ni****ne intake without noticing

What feels like a quick fix can quietly become a daily need.

If you’re thinking about quitting, free support is available through MI Quitlink: michigan.quitlogix.org

• It spreads through blood contact
• It can cause serious liver damage, including cirrhosis or liver cancer
• Many people don’t realize they’re at risk

May is Hepatitis Awareness Month 💛

Millions of people are affected by viral hepatitis, often without even knowing it. This month is all about raising awareness, encouraging testing, and promoting prevention through vaccination and safe practices.

Early detection can save lives—and in some cases, hepatitis can even be cured. Take a moment to learn the facts, get tested, and help break the stigma.

The Health Department is able to provide Hepatitis A and B vaccinations through appointment and has free condoms available through the wear one program available for pickup.
