#531 Show Summary (Stupid is Not Free Show): we hope for a miracle, but in all honesty, we despair the Kentucky will have a statewide smoking ban this legislative session. That means we will continue to sacrifice over 7000 Kentuckians every year to the health effects of smoking, including 3500 who die of lung cancer. This horrific toll is the price we pay for our collective inaction. We discuss cancer prevention, histoplasmosis, and Bluetooth toothbrushes.

Tip: Histoplasmosis is a fungus that is concentrated in bird and bat droppings, and present in the soil. Outbreaks have occurred with construction, renovation and excavation, caving, and agricultural activities.
