What is Not Around Us?

Not Around Us is about promoting an environment where it is easier for those who smoke to quit, and stay quit, and to help de-normalise smoking for the next generation.

The purpose of Not Around Us is to:

• Help to protect children and young people from second-hand smoke exposure.

• Contribute to the de-normalisation of smoking for children and young people.

• Reduce the environmental nuisance, cost of cleaning and damage that discarded tobacco products create.

• Signpost to HSE Quit services.

 

How to get involved?

Not Around us Signage will be made available free of charge to interested not for profit organisations, schools and early years services.

To get involved all you have to do is complete the Expression of Interest Form and return to community@meathcoco.ie .

The professionally designed and manufactured signage is for use in outdoor places and spaces where children and young people are likely to attend.
