Creating a smoke free environment

Tips to create a smoke free environment for you and your baby.

• One of the best things you can do for your baby is to make your home smoke-free. Opening the doors and windows will not protect your baby. Remove all ashtrays from inside your home.
  
  
• Make the car smoke-free and remove all ashtrays and the cigarette lighter.
  
  
• Use non-smoking stickers to inform others that your home and car are smoke-free. Place one on your car dashboard or bumper and/or on the front door or window of your house.
  
  
• Tell your family and friends that your home and car are smoke-free.
  
  
• Visit smoke free venues and congratulate these venues for being smoke-free.
  
  
• Don’t be afraid to ask people not to smoke near you or your child. You and your child have the right to clean air.
  
  
• If you have another young child, place a no-smoking sticker on your pram.
  
  
• If you are a smoker, think about quitting (call the Quitline on 131 848 or toll free for country callers 1800 198 024).
