Smoke-Free Homes are more important now than ever, as secondhand smoke is linked to many different types of lung and respiratory health concerns.

We understand if quitting isn’t possible for you right now, but limiting exposure to secondhand smoke is possible and the only way to fully protect other

• Create a smoke-free environment by smoking outside or away from the home.
• Avoid smoking in your car as chemicals from the smoke can linger and negatively affect the health of others.
• If you do have tobacco products in your house, make sure they are locked away from children.
