Your Choice Smoke Free Homes and Cars Lanarkshire

Want to help make a real impact on the health of children and babies in our communities?

 

Healthy Valleys are part of a Lanarkshire wide campaign to encourage Smoke Free Homes and Cars.

 

We aim to protect children from the harmful effects of second hand smoke, by encouraging parents/grandparents/carers to make simple changes such as:

 

I choose not to smoke in front of my children

I choose never to smoke in my child's bedroom

I choose to have a smoke free home

I choose to smoke in one room only

I choose to have a smoke free car

     

As well as protecting children (and pets!), it can also mean brighter, cleaner, fresher homes and cars and often gives smokers the motivation they need to quit!

 

Volunteers will be working in local primary schools and nurseries, to provide parents, carers and grandparents with information about the benefits of smoke free homes. They will encourage people to make changes and provide ongoing support to help them maintain them. In addition, families can access home fire safety visits and, if they decide to quit smoking, local stop smoking support can be arranged.
