Smoke-free Sports
Helping clubs, teams and sports settings create healthier spaces for children and families.
Sport is where young people learn, play and look up to adults around them. Keeping sidelines and sports grounds smokefree helps make smoking less visible and reinforces the healthy values sport already stands for.
Why make sport smokefree?
Smoke-free sports policies are about creating positive, family-friendly environments. They can reduce children’s exposure to smoking behaviour, support healthier role modelling and give clubs a clear, consistent message for members, parents and visitors.
Protect children
Children learn from what they see. Reducing visible smoking around sport helps stop it feeling like a normal part of everyday life.
Support positive role models
Coaches, volunteers, parents and supporters all shape the culture around a club. A smokefree policy makes the expectation easy to understand.
Make it easy to communicate
Ready-made posters, social graphics and club materials help you introduce the change without starting from scratch.
Ready to make your club smokefree?
The free clubs toolkit gives teams and sports settings practical materials to introduce and promote a smokefree approach.
