TAKE THE PLEDGE AND RECEIVE A TOBACCO FREE RIDE KIT

The Southern NJ Perinatal Cooperative; a grantee of Tobacco Free for a Healthy NJ, has launched a statewide campaign for tobacco/vape free vehicles called Tobacco Free Ride NJ: Clean Air for Kids in Cars. The campaign is collecting pledges from NJ licensed drivers to ban smoking/vaping in their vehicle when a minor is present to protect children against the exposure of secondhand smoke/aerosol. The first 500 pledges can receive a Tobacco Free Ride Kit. Please help us spread the word about taking the pledge. Visit www.TobaccoFreeRidePledge.com to sign the pledge and spread the word!

Tobacco Free Ride NJ information post cards are available to market the campaign in your community. Please feel free to print the Tobacco Free Postcard. This campaign is funded by the NJ Department of Health; Office of Tobacco Free, Nutrition and Fitness.

Thank you for your support to encourage a tobacco free environment for children’s growing lungs. For more information contact the Southern NJ Perinatal Cooperative.
