Smoke-free areas at home pushed

The New Vois Association of the Philippines (NVAP) has advised families to initiate smoke-free policies at home if they are to prevent non-smoking members from being threatened by second-hand smoke (SHS).

“We encourage the fathers and the mothers to also adopt tobacco control measures in their respective houses as the threat of second-hand smoke is not minimized, if not enhanced, if they are done in the comforts of their homes,” NVAP president Emer Rojas said last Sunday.
