Not Around Us Campaign

The aim of the campaign is to work "Towards a Tobacco and Vape Free Clare". The 2018 Clare Survey shows that 23% of the population in Clare are smokers; this is above Ireland's 2019 national average of 17%, (HI, 2019).Healthy Clare launched the "Not Around Us" campaign on National No Smoking Day, the 17^th of February 2021. 

The purpose of the Not Around Us campaign is to:

1. Help Protect children and young people from second hand smoke
   
2. Contribute to the Denormalisation of smoking for children and young people
   
3. Reduce Environmental Nuisance, the cost of cleaning and damage that discarded tobacco products create
   
4. Signpost to the HSE Quit services
   
5. Raise Awareness and Support amongst all stakeholders in Clare on tobacco/vape free Ireland and everyone playing a part in supporting it
