Smoke-Free Air for
Kids Contest
The Health Unit, as a member
of the Council for a Tobacco-Free Leeds,
Grenville and Lanark, joined with four other
tobacco-free Councils in Eastern Ontario to
promote the "Smoke-Free Air for
Kids" contest.
The goal of the contest was to
increase awareness of the harmful effects of
second-hand tobacco smoke and to eliminate
exposure in the home, particularly for
children.
The contest was open to
smokers and non-smokers living in Leeds,
Grenville and Lanark who have children under
18 years of age living at home, or who have
children in their home on a regular basis.
Participants registered during the month of
October and pledged to make their home
completely smoke-free during the month of
November.
The contest was promoted
through various media including newspapers and
radio. The winner of the contest was from
Perth and received a bread maker sponsored by
Black & Decker.
