What they aim to achieve
“Creating smoke-free homes IN Salford.”
The Smoke-Free Homes service aims to reduce the harm caused by second-hand smoke by encouraging smoke-free environments at home, by:
- reducing exposure of people, with particular regard to specified groups, to second-hand smoke
-
raising awareness of the consequences of exposure to second-hand smoke
Why?
- Second-hand smoke has multiple, significant negative effects on people’s health.
- People are more likely to become or remain smokers if others in their household or their peers smoke.
- Keeping either a part of, or an entire home smoke-free will reduce the effects of second-hand smoke on people’s health, and may support smokers to stop smoking
What they do
- Outreach work to raise awareness of the risks of exposure to second-hand smoke and the benefits of being smoke-free
- Provide support to applicants for Smoke-Free Home promises
