Local Highlights Healthy Lamoille Valley is an organization of community members whose mission is to change community norms working with diverse community partners to reduce tobacco use and exposure, prevent youth substance abuse, to reduce substance abuse overall and to support healthy personal choices. Lamoille County Mental Health Services (LCMHS) is a tobacco-free champion in our area. In 2015 LCMHS implemented their smoke-free campus policy. Vermont Department of Health’s 802Quits was instrumental in assisting all employees and consumers in meeting this policy. CounterBalance is a campaign directed towards the tobacco industry’s influence on youth and the damaging impact tobacco use has on community health.
