There’s plenty of good reasons to send your children to one of the many tobacco free schools located around the country; if not for health reasons alone, it just makes good sense to keep them away from people who practice bad habits such as chewing or smoking tobacco.

With smoking regulations being rather lax in some countries, having your children exposed to second hand cigarette or tobacco smoke could be doing them untold amounts of damage; their heart, lungs and brain are put at risk of cancers or other illness associated with tobacco usage.

Thankfully, finding tobacco free schools isn’t that tough anymore. We’ve started a tobacco free school campaign and intend to let you, the parent, check out database of tobacco free schools in your region; no matter where in the world you are, we will have them all listed!

Don’t be a bad parent and turn the cheek on your child’s health and education; I know in this day and age, everyone is pressed to make time and our health and our children’s health can often take a backseat but it’s paramount you make this a priority. If not for yourself, at least do it for your children as you owe it to them and their health.

Finally, if your children are currently attending a school that is not tobacco free, it’s important you don’t beat yourself up about it. A lot of teachers hide their disgusting habits out of the view of the public, so it’s possible you were not even aware of tobacco use at the local school.
