Talking to Your Children About Smoking
It's important to talk with your children about smoking. It’s never too early as you can greatly influence their decisions and help them make the choice not to smoke.
Children learn by example. If you smoke, think about what this tells your children. Think about how to explain your addiction to your children. This may be a lesson they will always remember.
Government is doing its part to protect the health of children. A new law, which went into effect April 1, makes it illegal to smoke in a vehicle when there is a person under 19 inside. Children regularly exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher risk of developing health problems.
