introductionThis schools resource / workbook forms part of the Wiltshire & Swindon ‘smoke free’ programme tocombat illness and social injustice arising through tobacco use.
This project was managed by Wiltshire Health Promotion Service with financial support and planningby Wiltshire & Swindon Tobacco Alliance (to June 2003) and subsequently by the Smoke FreeWiltshire Alliance. Tobacco Alliances are government funded partnerships between the NHS, localauthorities (such as district councils) and other agencies with an interest in improving health and socialconditions.
• BackgroundA young people’s survey was proposed with two aims:
• To find out about young people’s knowledge, attitudes and behaviour concerningsmoking and second-hand smoke.
• To promote ‘smoke free’ debates and activities in Wiltshire and Swindon Schools.
• Survey DetailsA questionnaire survey of Year 8 (12-13yrs) and Year 10 (14-15 yrs) students in secondary schools wasdevised. They were completed and returned by schools in Spring 2003. Five schools were involved,one from each of the five district or borough council areas of Wiltshire & Swindon.Details (N = number of students):
• Use of this resourceThe results of the survey (analysis and draft reports by the Schools Health Education Unit, Exeter) areset out in the following pages as 12 inter-related topics for class discussion, together with furtherstudy ideas and class activity suggestions. Individual topics are designed to photocopy for use as classhandouts. Overhead transparencies (end section) are included, plus a CD (back cover) which includesa PowerPoint presentation.
Each of the 12 questions in the 2003 survey questionnaire is shown in the following pages as originallyasked. See the contents page for a list of the twelve topic areas examined.
The results are then given and broken down by age / sex. They are also examined for differencesbetween smokers and non-smokers.
Detailed statistics for the whole sample and individual schools are found in Appendix 2 and 3 (alsouseful as maths resources).
For all of the results, some background information from other sources is provided together withsuggestions of things to talk about and to do - as below:

� 0
� 1 -5
� 6 -10
� more than 10
question two
Second-Hand or PassiveSmoking

• The percentage ofchildren in the UK livingwith at least one smokeris 43%. It is calculatedthat a smoky home might= 80 -150 second hand(passive) cigarettes inhaledeach year.
• The non-smoker breathes‘sidestream’ smoke fromthe burning tip of acigarette and also‘mainstream’ smoke thathas been exhaled by asmoker. Thisenvironmental tobaccosmoke (ETS) is a majorsource of indoor airpollution.
• The overall results for thisquestion are much higherthan 43%; so where arethese pupils beingexposed to smoke in thisway?
• Sidestream smoke is morepoisonous thanmainstream – WHY?
• Estimate how much timeyou spend in places wherethere is cigarette smoke.
• Draw up a list of actionsthat might reduce thisexposure.
• NHS guidance for parentson minimising children’sexposure to tobaccosmoke (apart from themstopping smoking)includes:
• Try to smoke only outside.If you must smoke insidelimit smoking to a roomwhere you can openwindows to allowadequate ventilation.
• Never smoke in a child’sbedroom and do notallow anyone else tosmoke there.
• Do not smoke while youare washing, dressing orplaying with your child.
• Never smoke in the carwith the windows closed,and never smoke in thecar when children arepresent.
3) Are you bothered by tobacco smoke in your environment?
� Yes always
� Yes, sometimes
� No, never

Tolerance of Tobacco Smokein the Environment
73% of all pupils in the sample say they arebothered by tobacco smoke in theirenvironment.
Younger pupils seem more likely to be botheredby environmental smoke.
Breakdown: bothered by tobacco smoke in theirenvironment (%).All schools
Smokers are less likely to report being botheredby environmental smoke, but they are by nomeans immune. Committed smokers (those whosay they do not want to give up smoking) areleast likely to report being bothered in this way.
• Tobacco smoke containsover 4000 chemicals inthe form of particles,gases and vapours.
• Many poisons arepresent in higherconcentrations insidestream smoke thanin mainstream smoke
• Nearly 85% of thesmoke in a smoky roomcomes from sidestreamsmoke.
• Which environments arethe worst?
• When people say theyare bothered, do theyjust mean that theydon’t like it, or do theyhave other physicalreactions to it?
• Find out how peoplereact when they arebothered in this way.
4) Have you ever been ill and not able to go to school / elsewhereand thought it was caused (or made worse) by passive smoking(or smoking if you are a smoker) ?
� Yes
� No
� Don’t know
question four
Tobacco Smoke and Health
8% of all pupils in the sample think theyhave been made ill through smoking .
A further 23% say they "don't know".
Breakdown: % answering they think they havebeen made ill through smoking.All schools
Current smokers are more likely than other pupilsto say they have been made ill by smoking.
• One study carried out forASH found that inhouseholds where bothparents smoke, youngchildren have a 72 percent increased risk ofbreathing problems.
• Other medical problemsthat can be caused bypassive smoking includeear infections and diseasesof the heart andcirculation.
• Do you think parents whosmoke know about thehealth problems that theymight be causing theirchildren?
• Cannabis contains moretar and poisons thantobacco. Is its legal re-classification from Class Bto Class C drug statushelpful to health?
• Ninety per cent ofrespondents in the ASHstudy thought that achild’s risk of getting chestinfections was increasedby second hand smokeand 82% thought that itwould increase a child’srisk of asthma.
• However, 18% ofrespondents in this samestudy said they thoughtthat diabetes could becaused by second-handsmoke, which has neverbeen suggested byresearch
• Why would some peoplethink diabetes could becaused by second-handsmoke?
• Design the best surveyyou can to find out whatpeople know about theeffects of adults smokingon children’s health.ACTIVITY

• ASH says:“Governments shouldimplement strategies toensure that non-smoking is the norm inall public places withparticular attention paidto places frequented bychildren.”
• Backed by a recentstudy, ASH maintain thatventilation is ineffectiveat removing all toxins intobacco smoke from theatmosphere of anybuilding where smokingis allowed in certainareas. Just because youcan’t smell smokedoesn’t mean therearen’t still poisons in theair. Because of this, ASHis calling for a total banon smoking in all publicplaces.
• A funny comparison tohaving smokingpermitted in one area ofa public place is havinga ‘peeing area’ in aswimming pool!
• Do you agree with thepolicy that exists in yourschool or clubs?
• Do you agree with ASH?
• Find out if the policy isdifferent anywhere elselocally, and if so, why.
57% of all pupils in the sample rate thisimportant as 6 or higher.
Younger pupils thought these laws moreimportant than did older pupils.
Breakdown: % rating the importance of lawsagainst passive smoking at least 6/10.All schools
Non-smokers, and especially never-smokers, weremore likely than other pupils to think these lawsimportant.
9) Overall, how would you score the importance of having laws againstpassive smoking? Circle any number from 0 –10 with 0 = not importantat all; 10 = very important
• The Government launcheda voluntary Public PlacesCharter in conjunctionwith the hospitalityindustry. This wasdesigned to increasesmoke-free provision inpubs, restaurants, etc.Trade associations thathave signed the charteracknowledge that “non-smoking is the generalnorm” and areencouraging theirmembers to improveventilation, have a clearsmoking policy and tocommunicate the policythrough appropriatesignage. However, acharter member can say“smoking permittedthroughout” and still beabiding by this voluntaryagreement!
• The British MedicalAssociation estimate thatat least 1,000 adults dieof diseases caused bysecond-hand smoke eachyear. ASH thinks thisfigure could be much,much higher. In January2004, ASH wrote to 170top UK businesses
warning them that theywould take legal action insupport of any employeeswhose health has beendamaged by having towork in smokyenvironments.
• In 2003 a casino workerwon £50,000 in damagesfrom his employer. Thejudge agreed that healthproblems had beenbrought on by tobaccosmoke inhalation at work.
• Individuals taking legalaction against tobaccocompanies for healthdamage through smokingis also becoming morecommon.
• Does any answer otherthan zero mean that youthink laws against passivesmoking are a goodthing?
• Are there actually anylaws against passivesmoking?
• Write a set of lawsconcerning second-handsmoke that you would liketo see.ACTIVITY
Smoke Free Public Places10) Would you smoke less, or stop, if you could not smoke at all in more public places?
� Yes
� No
46% of smokers in the sample say theywould at least cut down smoking if publicsmoking were more restricted.
Males, particularly younger males, see themselvesas more likely to cut down, compared with thefemales.
Breakdown: % answering they would at least cutdown smoking if public smoking were morerestricted.All schools
Committed smokers were least likely to thinkthey might cut down under these circumstances,with over three-quarters of such smokersanswering no to this question.

• Many voluntary smokefree places are evidentaround the UK.However, there is agrowing call for lawsenforcing smoking bansin restaurants and otherpublic places to protectboth customers andstaff.
• In the United States,California andMassachusetts havestrict no-smoking lawsand have witnessedlarge decreases in thenumbers of smokers (the‘prevalence’ of smokingis now only 16% inCalifornia compared to26% in the UK).
• Ireland introduced lawsbanning workplacesmoking on March 29th2004.
• Some UK cities haveplans to adopt ‘smokefree’ status and arecalling on thegovernment to at leastgive local councils thepower to controlsmoking in enclosedpublic places.
• Do smokers have rightsthat are being affectedby public healthregulations andcampaigns?
• Find out what rightschildren should have.Do any of these haveanything to do withsmoking and second-hand smoke?
64% of all smokers in the sample say thatthey would find it difficult (or very difficult)if they could not smoke at all.
Younger males seem more confident in theirability to handle not smoking.
Perhaps not surprisingly, committed smokers(possibly the heavier smokers) were more likely tothink they would find it difficult if they could notsmoke at all.

• Withdrawal symptoms arethe physical and mentalchanges that occurfollowing interruption ortermination of drug use.Nicotine in tobacco is anaddictive drug that whenwithheld can trigger:irritability / aggression;depression; restlessness;poor concentration;increased appetite; light-headedness; night-timeawakenings; craving. Onthe other hand, stoppingsmoking can lead to moremoney to spend;increased fitness; easierbreathing; better lookingskin; less bad breath,stained teeth (andfingers); less smellyclothes; and for most a lotof pleasure and pride intheir achievement.
• The tobacco companiesknew early on thatnicotine was highlyaddictive but kept the facta closely guarded secret(check out the ASHwebsite). It pays them tohave 450 young peoplestart on the road to
nicotine addiction everyday in Britain – to makeup for the 330 or so whodie from smoking on thesame day!

• More than 11 millionpeople in Britain havequit and are now ex-smokers. Some usedmedically endorsed‘nicotine replacementtherapy’ to help themovercome withdrawaleffects. Others went‘cold turkey’ (meaningthey used will poweralone). Yet others usedvarious forms ofcomplementary therapy,such as hypnosis oracupuncture (althoughcurrently there is noscientific evidence forthese working long-term).
• One way of actuallysupporting those whowant to stop is tointroduce more smokefree places. Researchhas shown for example,that when a workplacegoes smoke free,tobacco consumptionamong its employeeswho smoke goes down29% - made up of halfcutting down and halfstopping altogether.
• Is it really any harder tostop smoking than tomake other changes inyour life?
• Find out about whatsupport there is availablenationally and locally forpeople who want tostop smoking.
