April is all about the Dental Hygiene and celebrating and promoting Dental Hygienists. In 'studio' for this episode we have Capt Ian Pressé who shares with us the things we need to consider when it comes to our oral health, how we need to care for our gums and teeth and the surprising history of cigarettes and the military. We talk about the difficulties of quitting, and how some members find themselves being "smokers" in the first place and the different supports that are in place to try to help those looking to kick that habit find success - whether it's a first or a seventh attempt. If you or someone you know is considering giving up smoking, whether that's cigarettes, vaping, chewing, or nicotine pouches (maybe even cannabis) this episode might indeed give you some Food for Thought:)
