Keeping a smoke-free home and car not only protects from the effects of second hand smoke, but also prevents young people from starting to smoke.
The NHS Highland Smoke-Free Homes and Cars Challenge began in May 2010, we have had over 1400 homes sign up and over 170 requests for free Home Fire Safety Visits. We continue to focus our efforts with children and young people living in households in disadvantaged areas and welcome measures outlined in the Scottish Government’s Tobacco Control strategy and action plan, which include:
- Continued reporting of low levels of exposure to second hand smoke (especially among young people and children)
- Extending smoking restrictions to communal stairwells and landings
