Positive Smoke-Free Role Models

Take the pledge to become a positive smoke-free rolemodel

Not smoking around children is the best way to encourage them to grow up not to smoke.

The Health and Wellness hub is working in partnership with NHS Lanarkshire on the Positive Smoke-Free Role Models project which has a particular focus on children, and works towards:

· Preventing children and young people becoming the next generation of people who smoke

· Protecting children, adults, and pets from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke

To support and promote these goals throughout Lanarkshire, we’re asking you to take the pledge to become a positive smoke-free role model for children and young people.

Whether it’s not smoking around children, making your home and car smoke-free, or positively influencing others to get involved and take the pledge, you can be a positive smoke-free role model for children and young people.

You don’t have to smoke to take the pledge, everyone can get involved!

Take a few minutes out of your day and take the pledge here.
