Smokefree homes

Background

Every year 10,000 people die from passive smoke exposure in the home. Currently there are five million children who live in homes where at least one person smokes. Because of this East Sussex and Brighton and Hove has decided to launch the Smokefree Homes Campaign.

During the campaign we will not be asking people to stop smoking. Instead, we will ask you to help protect your family, friends and especially children from the harmful effects of smoking within the home or car.

The Smokefree pledge

When you take the smokefree pledge, you make the choice not to smoke in your home or car, and you do not to permit others to smoke in your house or car. If you must smoke, you pledge that you will smoke outside.

Giving up smoking

If you want to give up smoking and would like help and advice, contact your local stop smoking service.
