It is important we aim to ensure all childrens play areas within the East Riding have the same message – they are Smokefree. Although parks are in a more open space children are still exposed to the harms of second hand smoke whilst outside.
Not only this but the more children are visually exposed to smoking the more they will see this as a social norm and therefore likely to consider smoking when they are older.
The more places we can remove smoking visually will help us to protect our next generation from potentially lighting up too.
