The executives of DirigoChoice wish to see the day when Maine is declared the healthiest state in the nation.

If we wish to achieve this goal, we need the support of shopkeepers who are marketing products that are deterrent to a healthy lifestyle – namely tobacco products and alcoholic beverages.

These products are killing more people and destroying family life, as it should and could be.

Take these unhealthy products out of our shops altogether and help us truly live up to our motto: “Dirigo – I lead.”
