How can people avoid second-hand smoke?
Start by trying to avoid public venues that permit smoking. There are an increasing number of smoke-free pubs, restaurants, hotels and cafes, so do a little research before you go out.4 Workplaces are under a legal duty to protect the health of their employees, yet over 3 million non-smokers are exposed to smoke at work. If your workplace doesn’t operate a no-smoking policy, talk to your boss and suggest a re-think.5 In terms of people smoking in your home, you’re in control – ask them to smoke outside.
