Designates May of each year as "Youth Smoking Prevention and Awareness Month."

SJR 78 is a symbolic resolution designating May of each year as "Youth Smoking Prevention and Awareness Month" in New Jersey. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to encourage public awareness about smoking risks for youth. The resolution aims to support prevention efforts targeting middle and high school students, referencing New Jersey's high youth tobacco use rates and annual smoking-related costs (over 11,000 deaths and $2.6 billion in expenses). This designation is procedural, focusing on raising awareness rather than implementing policy changes.
