The Hague (Neth.)-In almost all play in Netherlands is still gepaft by the elderly. "It is precisely in this place is non-smoking the norm.
The lungs of young children are still vulnerable and full development. Except cigarette butts on the ground are the risks especially second-hand smoke and exemplification: seen smoking, smoking ", says Long Fund Director Michael Rutgers.
According to a survey of 1100 people, carried out by TNS NIPO, is more than three quarters of people in favour of non-smoking Netherlands playgrounds. Also smokers see the logic: only a quarter of them is against. The Government currently has a non-smoking playground not required.
Only a handful of playgrounds is now non-smoking. In countries such as France, England and the United States is the non-smoking playground standard. "For the health of our kids you can envy there," according to Rutgers.
The Long Fund has developed a roadmap for municipalities and playgrounds with which they can get to work for a smoke-free playground.
