About a quarter of all adults in Franklin County are smokers…. And if that’s not worrisome enough, young people continue taking it up. The Franklin County Health Department recently released an annual report….. Health Department Director Midge Ransom says young people are using electronic cigarettes… Especially one called Jewel.
