Take the Smoke-Free Home Pledge

Do you or your relatives, houseguests, or babysitters light up in your living room? Children who breathe secondhand smoke are more likely to develop bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections, and frequent asthma attacks.

Team up with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and take the Smoke-Free Home Pledge, the EPA’s campaign to clear tobacco smoke from the air in American homes nationwide.

Call the EPA’s toll-free hotline at 800-513-1157 or log on to www.epa.gov/smokefree/pledge/ to take the pledge today!

How to Keep a Smoke-Free Home:

  • Choose not to smoke in your home and do not permit others to do so.

  • Choose not to smoke if children are present, especially infants and toddlers. They are especially vulnerable to the effects of secondhand smoke.

  • Do not allow babysitters or others who work in your home to smoke in the house or near young children.

  • If you must smoke, choose to smoke outside. Moving to another room or opening a window is not enough to protect your children.
