Smokebusters is an exclusive club for primary six and seven classes all over Northern Ireland who have chosen to reject smoking and promote health. The Smokebusters campaign aims to increase the defences of young people to reject smoking by providing information directly to them about the risks of smoking, and by promoting ‘fun’ ways of involving young people in activities to create a ‘Smoke free’ environment in their schools, their home and the community.
Membership of the Smokebusters Club is free and resources are supplied in three packs over the course of the academic year.
Alison Lyndsay, Principal of Poyntzpass Primary School said, “The children are very enthusiastic about the Smokebusters Club and the issues involved, especially passive smoking which they have had some very animated discussions about it. We would like to thank the Ulster Cancer Foundation for a great prize, an educational day trip to the ECOs Centre, which the pupils all enjoyed.”
