Smoking Cessation and Prevention

Somerset County WIC enrollees are the target population for the program. Through an agreement with Somerset Health Services, the program assesses the past and present tobacco use by WIC participants and family members. Trained counselors then work with the women, giving them the skills they need to eliminate smoking and reduce their children’s exposure to second-hand smoke.
