We’re out in San Luis, CO telling stories of how tobacco and nicotine use affect Colorado’s rural communities. The Costilla County Public Health Agency Director Paul Wertz has lived in the community for nearly 40 years. He has seen a lot change - from Marlboro Man days to todays new oral nicotine products.

More insights, this time from Jessica Glenza at The Guardian, on how left has met right in states like Colorado when it comes to skepticism of mainstream #health advice, including #vaccines.
