Mary's Family Is Living Smoke Free

Mary: "When friends come to our house and light up, I say politely that our house is smoke free and they need to smoke outside."

Learn From Mary's Family:

1. Help your children stay smoke free.
   
   
   • Talk to your children about the harm smoking does to their health.
   • Help your children make a sign that says: "We are a smoke-free family."
     
     
2. Protect your family and friends from secondhand smoke.
   
   
   • Put a "We Are a Smoke Free Family" sticker or sign in your house and car.
   • Sit in the nonsmoking section in restaurants.
