What is New Jersey Rebel?

REBEL is a movement by and for New Jersey teens who want to break from the influence of Big Tobacco.

What "lies" are REBEL talking about?

Big tobacco companies show ads that make smoking look cool, but the truth is, it kills. Tobacco companies say they don't target teenagers, yet they advertise heavily in magazines that have large teen audiences, such as Rolling Stone and Sports Illustrated.

Why do we need REBEL?

Each day 3,000 U.S. teens take their first cigarette - that's 85 teens a day in New Jersey. One-third of them are likely to die of a tobacco- related disease. In their memos, one of the tobacco companies called teens "replacement smokers." Replacements for the customers who die. It's time Big Tobacco learned that New Jersey teens are Not for Sale!

How does REBEL work?

REBEL is a youth-led movement. Two REBEL members from each country from the youth advisory board, a leadership committee that meets regularly to share ideas and to develop state wide programs. REBEL has chapters in all 21 New Jersey counties. Teens between 14 and 17 are invited to join.
