Smoke and Vape Free NB (SVFNB) is a dedicated initiative under the Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick, based in Saint John. The organization’s mission is to promote a tobacco-free lifestyle through comprehensive resources and support tailored to various demographics, including youth, adults, and seniors. SVFNB focuses on preventing smoking and vaping, offering education and tools to facilitate quitting, with specialized resources for vulnerable communities such as Indigenous populations and those facing food insecurity.

SVFNB provides a wealth of information through toolkits, publications, and online learning opportunities, aiming to foster smoke-free environments in schools, workplaces, and public spaces. Their strategy encompasses legislative awareness and progress reporting, in line with New Brunswick’s Tobacco-Free Living Strategy. Additionally, they offer collaboration opportunities with provincial, national, and international partners. For personalized support, individuals can reach out via their toll-free quit line or contact their manager, Kristin Farnam. Together, SVFNB works to enhance public health and well-being through effective tobacco control initiatives.
