NON-SMOKING POLICY

Rationale

• Smoking is the single most preventable cause of premature death and ill-health in our society.

• Passive smoking - breathing other people's tobacco smoke - is also potentially fatal. It has been shown

to cause lung cancer, as well as many other illnesses, in non-smokers.

• Smoking is a health and safety issue for all personnel who use the school.

• Schools have a major role to play in working towards non-smoking being seen as the norm in society.

• Children need to receive consistent messages and require non-smoking role models within the school.

The Law
