The ‘Not Around Us’
Campaign is about promoting an environment where it is
easier for those who use tobacco to quit and stay quit
while helping to de-normalise smoking tobacco for the
next generation.
The purpose of ‘Not Around Us’ is to:
• Help protect children and young people from
second-hand smoke exposure
• Contribute to the denormalisation of smoking/vaping
for children and young people
• Reduce environmental nuisance, cost of cleaning and
damage that discarded tobacco
products create
• Signpost the HSE Quit services.
If you are interested in quitting smoking please contact
Sarah on 086049246, Dawn on 0863404321 and Cara on
0871444489 or visit
www.quit.ie .
When you quit for 28 days you are 5 times more likely to
quit for good and you have a greater chance of quitting
when you get support from specialist staff and use stop
smoking medications. |
