1. What did we learn in lesson 2? • Lesson 2’s Learning Objectives. • More about the facts around smoking. • What secondhand and thirdhand smoke means. • How secondhand smoke affects others. Lesson 3

2. How did we use the Learning Board in our last lesson? Who would like to read out what they have written? Do we agree with these ideas? Let us go through the concern’s box. What have we learned so far? What else would you like to learn?

3. Learning Objectives. I can understand strategies to minimise the risks from exposure to secondhand and thirdhand smoke. I can understand ways to help others make behavioural changes related to smoking. I know who to contact for help and support. • Steps for Success. • We need to understand that there are different strategies we can use in order to minimise the risks from exposure to secondhand and thirdhand smoke. • We need to realise that we have important choices to make to help us to be safe and healthy. • We will need to understand that we can have a positive influence on others and the choices they make. • We know there are people in school who can help, such as the school nurse or any member of staff.

4. Think of ideas to positively and sensitively encourage Millie’s dad to make healthier choices linked to smoking. Just because someone knows the risks doesn’t mean they will stop. It is about changing someone’s routines and behaviour in order for them to stop taking the risk. How could Millie help her dad to change his smoking behaviour?

5. What can Millie do to encourage her dad to stop smoking. The Dangers • Keep smoky rooms well ventilated, but safeguard open windows. • Never smoke in bed. Ensure smoke alarms are fitted and test weekly. • Keep playing and sleeping areas smokefree. • Help reduce the risk of fire and keep ashtrays and smoking materials (cigarettes, tobacco, lighters, matches etc) in one place out of reach of small children;remember to empty ashtrays regularly. • Keep an umbrella near the door to use when smoking outside (this will help reduce temptation to smoke inside if the weather is bad). • Smoke before travelling on short trips or stop for breaks and smoke outside the car when on longer journeys. • Tell visitors to your home and passengers in your car what you are doing and why. How could you help Millie’s dad?

Fill in your Learning Board.

8. How could you design a leaflet to help others? Think about what needs to go onto your leaflet. Remember you are designing, not making the finished leaflet. It is important to include the facts you have learned. Remember this is a piece of non-fiction text.
