Note to Teachers, Parents and Carers
These activities are not meant to judge anybody but have been developed as starting
points to support you in talking with your child about tobacco. Together you can seek
out answers and facts by using a range of easy to use scenarios and activities. Whether
you are a smoker or not, it is estimated that most adults who smoke now wish they had
never started and would love to quit!
Most parents would prefer that their child didn’t start to smoke in the first place. In
households where parents don’t smoke children are less likely to start smoking.
When your child is registered onto www.lookoutzone.co.uk through school, they will
be given their own password. This will enable them to use Lookout! Tobacco with you
at home. Here you will find lots of information and interactive activities which have
been designed to help children make informed choices about tobacco.
Remind your child to write their password in the box provided on the front cover, so
they don’t forget!
When you log onto www.lookouttobacco.co.uk go into the kids section and you will
come to this screen:
Highlight and click onto the different areas of the town to help you find answers and
information when you are supporting your child with any of the following 6 activities.

Activity 1: Attitudes and Values
Note to Parents and Carers
We’ve all got our own opinions - after all it would be a very boring world if we all thought
the same, wouldn’t it? Whatever upsets or annoys one person doesn’t automatically
have the same effect on someone else. How do our actions affect others? Is there
always a right or wrong way of responding in different situations?
Respect for each other makes life easier and helps everybody get on together. Honesty
is always a good starting point when you have quality time to spend with your child
and helps to develop trust, which is a strong basis for future communications.
When you are reading the following scenarios remind your child that it is really easy to
judge others and sometimes we do, without knowing all the facts! Choose one of the
following scenarios and read through it together. Think about each situation and the
different characters. Discuss the various attitudes and values of each character and
think about what you would do in this situation. Don’t forget to listen to your child’s
opinion as well as being as honest as you can when they ask you for yours.
Have a look around www.lookouttobacco.co.uk and work with your child to find out
the relevant information needed to complete the activity. This overview will help you
to decide where to look.

Scenario 1
Grandad started smoking when he was 13. He understands it is harmful to himself and
his family but has struggled to quit the habit. Whenever he visits his daughter and her
family, he always goes outside when he wants a cigarette, whatever the weather!
Mum is concerned because he has a bad chest and she worries that standing outside
will make it worse.
Grandad started smoking when he was 13; that was a long time ago. Do you think
people knew it was bad for their health?
How have things changed from when grandad was young?
Look up some historical facts in the library on the website.
Do you ever see any adverts for cigarettes on the TV?
Discuss your thoughts together. What would you do?
How can all the family stay safe and healthy?

Scenario 2
Dad has always smoked since he was young. But now dad has lost his job and mum
works part time. Dad wants to save money to help towards the family’s living costs.
Dad realises that if he gives up smoking that would help. The family are finding it
difficult though as dad is struggling and quite often bad tempered.
What do you think are the benefits of dad giving up smoking?
Why do you think dad is struggling to give up smoking?
Look at the different help sections and discuss what advice you would give someone
who was trying to stop smoking. Look in the library, the school or the community
centre.
Discuss how the family can help and support dad and each other. What would you do?

Scenario 3
The house was thrown in turmoil when mum got a letter saying that gran was coming
to stay. Nothing ever pleased gran! The children were too noisy! The house too untidy
and nobody did enough to help her!
She hadn’t been there long when she realised she had run out of cigarettes. She told
Damien to go and get her some from the shop. Damien was only 13, so he told gran he
couldn’t as he was too young to be served. Gran sighed and Damien felt quite sorry for
her. He knew she was an old softie underneath all her huffing and puffing.
Just then dad walked in and told gran he would pop out and pick some up for her!
How have things changed from when gran was young?
What are the laws around tobacco?
Can you find out when the laws changed?
How would you describe gran?

Activity 3 - Effects of Tobacco on the Body
– Quit for a Healthier Body
When tobacco was first introduced into Europe, most people believed it would cure
many health problems! Nobody realised just how dangerous it was or indeed how
difficult it would be to quit!
Today we know different. However for many people who know how tobacco affects
their health, it doesn’t mean it is any easier to give up even though they may really
want to, and the benefits can be felt after only 20 minutes.
Did you know that after stopping smoking for:
• 20 minutes - blood pressure and pulse return to normal
• 8 hours – nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in the body are halved. The lungs
will have started to clear out the tar that has been clogging them up. Taste and
smell are greatly improved
• 72 hours – breathing becomes easier and energy levels increase
• 2-12 weeks – circulation improves and exercise is easier
• 3-9 months – coughs, wheezing and breathing problems improve
The following hotspots highlight different effects that smoking can have on the body.

If you are a smoker yourselves you will know only too well the cost of smoking and the
harm it can do to your pocket. Raising the tax on tobacco products is an effective way
for the government to raise money and is also an incentive to some smokers to quit the
habit. They’d rather see the extra cash in their own pockets and who can blame them!
You will find three activity sheets to follow. Choose either the activity sheet or the
scenario sheet to discuss with your child. In each scenario, one or more members of
the family are saving up. Ask your child to work out the costs and savings, don’t forget
to use a calculator if your child struggles with Maths.

nowhere for him to play and he is stuck inside most of the time because mum says the
area simply isn’t safe. He is fed up of watching TV and would love a PS3.
Mum, gran and his brother are all smokers. Gran has tried to quit a few times but finds
it difficult to stick at it when the others smoke in front of her. She really wants to help

One evening when Ben has gone to bed gran decides to talk to mum and Ben’s brother.
She tells them she wants to save up to buy Ben a PS3 for Christmas but wants it to be

Activity 5 - Peer Pressure
As a parent we all want to protect our children and keep them safe at all times.
However we recognise that is an impossible task. We can’t be there all the time so
how can we help prepare them when they come up against difficult situations.
A good way of preparing the way is to practise simple ways of saying ‘no’ together.
School
Talk about body language and simple tricks which will help avoid trouble. If in doubt
don’t make eye contact but move away. If the person is someone your child sees as
a friend explain that they can simply say ‘no’ or ‘no thanks’ and either change the
subject or walk away.
School
Friends – peer pressure

Activity 5 - Peer Pressure
The Broken Record
Look in the School and click on the friends to find out about a technique
called the broken record.
Think about t he f ollowing examples and t alk together with your child
about possible reactions. What could they say? What would you do in their
position? Remind them to be confident, say no thanks or even change the
subject and walk away.
Your child is offered a cigarette
Your child is asked to steal
cigarettes from a shop
Your child is urged to go to
the park after school instead
of coming straight home
Your child is asked for money
Now have a go at making up some simple
scenarios together and act them.

Activity 6 - Problem Solving
You only have to open a newspaper or a magazine and you will usually find a problem
page. They can be interesting to read and if you have a look in the library you will find
some good examples to share with your child.
It’s always so much easier to talk about other people’s problems as there is less chance
of any party being judgemental or feeling uncomfortable as it means the discussion
isn’t personal. On Activity sheet 6 you will find 4 further problems which you can read
together and decide how you would respond and what advice you would give.

Dear ....
I am worried about my
gran. I love
her to bits, she is good
fun and I love going
to stay at her house.
Last night I
overheard mum talking
to uncle Ivor on the
phone. She told him sh
e was worried about
gran smoking and the
affect it has on her
breathing. Gran won’t
go the doctors and
talk about her problem
s.
How can I help her? I
don’t want her to get
really ill but I have no
ticed myself that she
is struggling to walk ev
en the short
distance to the shops!
I share a bedroom with my older sister. We usually
get on really well and have a laugh together. Just
lately I have noticed a strange smell on her clothing
and I realised she has started smoking!
Yesterday I saw her go into mum’s purse and take
some money. She doesn’t know I saw her but now I
don’t know what to do. I saw her later coming out
of the local shop, she quickly shoved a packet of
cigarettes in her pocket when she spotted me.
She’s only 15, surely she shouldn’t be able to buy
cigarettes herself.
I don’t know what to do! Mum will be so mad.
