On today’s Health Show, we’ll bring in Dr. Stephanie Beling to talk about what you can do to fight this all too common problem. We’ll also find out how stress in the workplace is making some people’s lives not so much fun. There’s a ban on smoking in France...and the French, even the non-smokers, are not taking it well.
