Children and family
Smoking can harm the people around you, especially children, as their developing bodies are more susceptible to the effects of passive smoking.
Children can also be influenced by the smoking behaviour of the adults around them. Young people can become addicted to nicotine faster than adults. Even low-level or social smoking or vaping carries health risks for children. If your child or a young person you know is smoking or vaping, you might be wondering how to talk with them about it.
