Message from the President

Welcome to our website. We have been striving for smokefree workplaces, public places, and schools, since 1974. In 2006 we won our right to smokefree air through the passage of the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act. We still need to protect people in their residences, and especially children from the harm of environmental tobacco smoke..

But we need all the help we can get to change the image of secondhand smoke from acceptable and only a minor nuisance, to the danger it really is. Secondhand smoke kills more than 65,000 Americans every year. Even low exposures can trigger heart attacks in people with heart disease.

The more members we have, the more influential we can be. Therefore, I hope that, after viewing this website, you will join us and help us reach our goals.

To become a member, please send a tax-deductible contribution along with your name and address to 7 Cedar St., Suite A, Summit, NJ 07901.

Dr. Douglas Lee Chester, President
