Sport is about lots of things, most of them
positive: team playing, self-improvement, discipline, fitness and fun. Sport
clubs and associations have a significant influence in their community by
fostering a family friendly environment and displaying positive images of a healthy
lifestyle, particularly to the junior members.
Being smokefree is one of the healthiest
messages you can create. Prohibiting smoking in outdoor areas not only reduces
people's exposure to secondhand smoke, but it also helps to make smoking less
visible and less socially acceptable. Taking steps to make more outdoor areas
smokefree and to denormalise smoking, will help make smoking less attractive to
young people, and support smokers who want to quit.
Quit has developed "Going smokefree
outdoors - a guide for sporting clubs". In this kit you'll find all the
