Protect your family from secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke causes immediate harm to nonsmokers who breathe it. If you are a nonsmoker, you can do some important things to protect yourself and your family.
  • Do not allow anyone to smoke anywhere in or near your home. Some of the smoke stays in your house even if you only allow smoking near an open window.
  • Do not allow anyone to smoke in your car, even with the window down. No amount of smoke is safe.
  • Make sure your children’s day care centers and schools are tobacco-free. A tobaccofree campus policy prohibits any tobacco use or advertising on school property by anyone at any time. This includes off campus school events.
  • Teach your children to stay away from secondhand smoke. Be a good role model by not smoking.

Allowing someone to smoke in only one room does not protect nonsmokers. Smoke from halls and stairs gets inside, too.
