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.
Restrictions on smoking

The Law
