The mission of the NYC Coalition for a Smoke-Free City is to promote a tobacco-free society that benefits the health of all New York City residents.

WHO WE ARE

The NYC Coalition for a Smoke-Free City is a health advocacy group working to increase awareness around tobacco control. Partnering with community members, legislators, and health advocates, we support local efforts for effective and long-term change throughout NYC.

WHAT WE DO

• Reduce youth exposure to tobacco marketing.
• Increase the number of smoke-free outdoor spaces.
• Increase the number of apartment buildings, co-ops and condos that are 100% smoke-free.
• Engage community partners to build support for policy campaigns.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe that every NYC resident has the right to breathe clean, smoke-free air where they live, work and play. We believe that it is unacceptable for NYC youth to be lured into a life of tobacco addiction. We believe that every smoker deserves the support and resources to quit.

The Coalition is a program of Public Health Solutions and is funded through grants from the Department of Health and Human Services and the New York State Department of Health. For questions and inquiries click here.
