Smokefree homes
People living in social housing are more likely to smoke than other population groups. This can impact their health, household finances, and safety at home. The Smokefree homes initiative supports housing providers to help tenants lead healthier lives while reducing preventable risks and costs.
Smokefree homes offers:
- Behaviour change and Very Brief Advice (VBA) training for housing staff
- Clear referral routes to free stop smoking support
- Guidance for smokefree messaging and tenancy materials
- Support with policy development for healthier, safer homes
The benefits include:
- Better health and reduced second-hand smoke exposure
- Lower fire risk and property damage
- Financial savings for tenants
- Progress towards a smoke free generation
