| Description | The programs "Smoke-Free Homes" support the restriction or full prohibition of smoking in homes where children are living. The rules offer the different levels of controls: prohibition of smoking within the whole home ("gold grade"), or allowed in only single well ventilated room ("silver grade"); the lowest level is the simple agreement to do not smoke in the presence of children or other non-smokers ("bronze grade"). There may be even another variants of these strategies. The scientific common opinion emphasizes the full protection of children in the smoke-free homes as the main task. Of course, the step-by-step approach is possible. Not only foreign, but also the Czech school-based anti-smoking educational programs include parcially these problems: the iniciation of parental co-operation and training children s skills in anti-smoking defense strategies. |
