On this West Virginia Morning, reports of spam text messages pretending to be from the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, a Public Service Commission hearing on the Boone-Raleigh Service District and guidance on a new gun law.

We’ll also hear about a novel that uses Appalachia as the setting for a post-apocalyptic story and learn about how to go about one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions – quitting smoking.
