It is accompanied by ‘Safe Harbour: A Helpful Guide for Parents and Carers’, which outlines how parents or carers can practically use the book.

World No Tobacco Day takes place on 31st May

World No Tobacco Day takes place every year on 31st May.  Smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths and preventable cancers across the island of Ireland, contributing to around 5,000 deaths in Ireland and 2,300 deaths in Northern Ireland every year.

Tobacco use is associated with a wide range of health problems, including lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, respiratory diseases, and many other conditions.

It not only harms the health of people who smoke, but also has significant negative effects on the health of non-users through exposure to second-hand smoke. There are also significant economic costs associated with tobacco use, including healthcare costs, lost productivity, and reduced quality of life.
