Annual Pride Events

PrideFest is an annual street fair hosted by NYC Pride in New York City. NYC Treats Tobacco (NYCTT) has hosted a booth at PrideFest since 2022. At the booth, NYCTT team members provide tobacco cessation resources, connection to the New York State Quitline, and information about health centers that can assist with tobacco cessation in NYC. 

Join us in reclaiming the narrative and creating a better world where queer folx can live long, healthy, and joyous lives. If you are interested in learning more about the importance of quitting smoking or finding resources to help you on your quit journey, check out our LGBTQIA+ resources page.
