As Marine Veteran Alex Stallworth said, “I could never have told my story if there were no ears that wanted to listen.” Stallworth found hope through Whole Health, recovering from addiction and homelessness, and is one of many Veteran volunteers trained to assist other Veterans in taking charge of their health.

· Smoke cigarettes now or quit within the past 15 years
· Have a smoking history of at least 20 pack-years (this means 1 pack per day for 20 years or 2 packs a day for 10 years, etc.)
