There are many different factors which lead young people to smoke, but the extent to which tobacco is prominent, normal or accepted around them plays a crucial part.
Quit Your Way Youth and school resources aim to provide young people with information about smoking and tobacco to allow them to make informed decisions. The resources provide young people with easy access to the facts about smoking and information on how to access local support to stop smoking.
Quit Your Way Youth Resources covers the following:
- Stop Smoking Support for young people – Click to quit – Find a stop smoking service in your area
- Prevention and Education: resources and support for schools and youth organisations
- Policy guidance for schools and youth organisations
- Protecting families and communities from second hand smoke
- Research and partnership working in tobacco prevention and control
