Help Haringey to breathe more easily - spring clean you business and go smoke-free!

Why go smoke-free?

There are lots of good reasons to stub out smoking on your premises...

  • It's not just a smoker's health that is effected by tobacco - Second-hand Smoke (SHS) can damage the health of non-smokers too… in short, smoking effects all of your employees and customers without exception
  • Improving the environment for your customers - does your business serve food or drinks? You could boost sales by providing local residents with the option of a smoke-free lunch or night out! Many establishments have found that custom has increased once they implement a smoke-free policy
  • If you're an employer, just think of the increased productivity you'll benefit from... Apart from additional sick leave that smoking causes, a possible daily pattern of nine cigarette breaks lasting 10 minutes each equates to one working day per week lost!
  • Going smoke-free will also save your business money on cleaning and maintanence costs. Smoke-free environments are much cleaner and easier to maintain - you won't have to re-decorate or replace furniture as often either!
  • It's easy to implement! Smoke-free policies are more cost effective, both to implement and maintain than smoking policies or partial policies
  • Separate smoking areas and ventilation systems don't decrease the risk of exposure to the cancer-causing particles and gases that make up SHS - smoke drifts and these particles settle on clothes and furniture, even after the visible smoke has gone, so the risk of illness to smokers and non-smokers alike is still high. The only way to eliminate the risks associated with SHS is a completely smoke-free environment


Smoke-free Haringey can give you free support and advice to create and apply a smoke-free policy, so why wait… act now!

What is Smoke-free Haringey?

Smoke-free Haringey is a joint initiative between Haringey Teaching Primary Care Trust and Haringey Council. Smoke-free Haringey are working locally to improve the environment for all our borough's residents, employers, workers and visitors. We do this by
  • Promoting the business benefits of a smoke-free environment
  • Helping local businesses draft and implement smoke-free policies
  • Congratulating businesses that go smoke-free with a Smoke-free Haringey Award
  • Helping local employers support staff that want to stop smoking
  • Providing an online smoke-free 'directory' and feedback facility for the public
  • Providing potential customers with information on premises that are smoke-free through links from both the Haringey TPCT and Haringey Council websites


What are the Smoke-free Haringey Awards?

The Smoke-free Haringey Awards are given to local businesses that are completely smoke-free. It's that simple! As long as you don't allow any smoking inside of your premises, you are eligible for an award.

It's easy to apply and only takes a few minutes to complete the form - apply now!

In addition to presenting your business with an award, we'll also add it to our directory of smoke-free places in Haringey!
