SAFETY / COMPLIANCE ALERT
UK Trading Standards testing found nicotine in some vapes sold as nicotine-free. A 0% or nicotine-free label should not be treated as proof of contents.
Healthy Homes
Helping families make home the easiest place to keep smokefree.
A smokefree home protects children, adults and pets from second-hand smoke and creates a healthier everyday environment for everyone who lives there or visits.
Why a smokefree home matters
Second-hand smoke can spread through rooms and linger in the home. Opening a window or smoking in another room does not stop other people being exposed. The clearest way to protect everyone indoors is to keep smoking outside and make the whole home smokefree.
Keep smoking outside
The simplest household rule is no smoking indoors. Pick an outdoor place away from doors and windows where smoke is less likely to drift back inside.
Make the rule clear
Let family, friends and visitors know your home is smokefree. A clear rule is easier for everyone to follow than making exceptions.
