Goals and Methods

The goals of New Jersey GASP are to secure smokefree air for nonsmokers and to ensure tobacco-free lives for children.

New Jersey GASP was a leader in recognizing the causes of the world tobacco pandemic as (1) tobacco industry marketing and social and political pressure tactics and (2) social acquiescence to that marketing and those tactics.

Therefore, New Jersey GASP (1) exposes and confronts the tobacco industry and (2) encourages and assists individuals, decision makers, and legislators to withdraw their cooperation from tobacco industry "business as usual."

We specialize in helping create local policy and legislation.
