Let’s Work Together – New Brunswick’s Tobacco-Free Living Strategy
New Brunswick’s Tobacco and Vape-Free Living Strategy – A Tobacco and Smoke-Free Province for All
The 7th edition of New Brunswick’s Tobacco and Vape-Free Living Strategy was prepared by the Smoke and Vape Free NB coalition (SVFNB) with the involvement of stakeholders and key partners whose work contributes to a common vision of making New Brunswick tobacco and smoke-free for all.
The goal of the consultation process was to ensure the updated Strategy accurately reflects the priorities of stakeholders and engages new and existing partners, community groups and individuals.
New Brunswick’s Tobacco and Vape-Free Living Strategy was prepared by the Coalition of members from Smoke and Vape Free NB (SVFNB) with stakeholders and key partners engaged in the process. This Strategy belongs to everyone in New Brunswick who values the health, wellness, social and economic benefits of tobacco-free living and smoke-free environments.

The NBATC will be providing a series of webinars to present this Strategy to its stakeholders and partners showcasing additions and updates which reflects the current tobacco landscape, pinpoint specific goals and objectives that partners can work on to help achieve the Strategy’s vision of a tobacco and smoke-free province for all, and generate discussions to help participants better understand the Strategy and feel empowered to integrate it into their work plan.
NEW BRUNSWICK’S TOBACCO-FREE LIVING STRATEGY AND HEALTHY EATING AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Strategy Promotion Webinar Series
In our ongoing series to promote New Brunswick’s Tobacco-Free Living Strategy, the NBATC has created a convenient infographic for our partners in the Healthy Eating and Physical Activity (HEPAC) sector with details on the connection between healthy eating and physical activity and tobacco use. The goal of this strategy promotion series is to help partners feel empowered to integrate this strategy into their individual work plans and to help achieve the Strategy’s vision of a tobacco and smoke-free province for all while generating discussions that promote a better understanding of the Strategy itself.
This new resource can be shared with a variety of groups demonstrating how a healthy lifestyle that includes smoke-free environments, healthy eating and regular physical activity, can positively affect tobacco use rates.

This is also an effective motivational activity to do with children, youth and young adults as part of smoking prevention/education (show their commitment to live tobacco-free, to not start using vaping products, to educate themselves on the risks of smoking and vaping, etc) and with patients looking to quit smoking (show their intent to quit smoking, set goals, set a quit date, etc.).
