On this episode of Clifton Health On Air, host Layal Helwani, and co-host Lauren Scarfo, sit down with Tania Bansemer, from The Center for Prevention and Counseling, talking about the program: Tobacco Free for a Healthy New Jersey.

Tobacco Free for a Healthy New Jersey is a statewide program funded by the New Jersey Department of Health. This program works to reduce tobacco use and vaping by promoting smoke-free places and spaces, as well as policy change, educating the youth about the harms of tobacco use, and providing cessation to help people quit tobacco. Tania is the Northern Regional Coordinator for Tobacco Free and is based out of Sussex County at The Center for Prevention and Counseling. The Northern Region covers the seven northern counties in New Jersey: Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, and Warren.
