Take Action On:
Right to a Healthy Environment
This Act recognizes that the health of New Brunswickers and the health of our environment are inextricably linked. Share your support today.
Youth Nicotine Addiction
Health Canada loopholes allow Flavoured Nicotine Pouches to be sold and advertised to youth. Reclassify pouches as a prescription product.
Children’s Health & Healthy Transportation
Diesel emissions have negative health effects on children. Ask the government to commit to an electrified school bus fleet.
Federal Advocacy:
Smoke-Free Generation
Nicotine addiction is on the rise. Send a letter to your MP or the PM supporting a ban on the sale of tobacco and nicotine products to anyone born on or after a specific date
NB Lung is a proud member of the National Lung Health Alliance (NLHA), a coalition of provincial lung health charities and like-minded organizations dedicated to championing vital lung health issues across Canada. Through this collaboration, we work collectively to address key areas such as youth vaping prevention, improving diagnostics and support for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and enhancing air quality by reducing radon exposure and promoting healthier homes.
Our participation in the NLHA amplifies our efforts to advocate for policy changes and implement programs that benefit the respiratory health of New Brunswickers and all Canadians. Together, we strive to create a smoke-free generation, improve patient outcomes, and ensure cleaner air for all.
