Does anyone have experience of their school successfully preventing parents from smoking at or near the school gates ? We moved 6 weeks ago and I am absolutely horrified at the amount of passive smoke I and my children have had to inhale so far at the (primary) gates. I would say it's more than I've ever had to breathe in my 41 years. As a teacher of many years and a parent for 11 years, I am gobsmacked at how prevalent smoking is among the parents at this particular school. I have raised the issue with the Head teacher and the Governors, but does anyone have practical advice on any successful campaigns ? I don't want to blast the smoking parents with a negative message however I would like them to feel good about helping the children to be healthier and have a more pleasant start and end to their school day.
