The negative health consequences for smokers and those near them are widely known; however, many people continue to smoke due to its highly addictive nature. Unfortunately, many municipal employees are susceptible to these addictions and secondhand effects. In order to combat this issue, the Mayor's Wellness Campaign, in collaboration with Pfizer and Fox Chase Cancer Center, has created the "Kick Butt" contest to help municipal workers quit smoking!
Six New Jersey municipalities will compete to achieve the highest percent of employees who have gone the longest without smoking. The winning municipality will be featured at a statewide press conference in or around the end of July. For more details on the competition click here. Together we can succeed in creating a healthier, smoke free New Jersey.
