Description Exposure to passive smoking has been recognized as serious health hazard, especially for children who are more vulnerable than adults to the damage caused by chemicals. Legislation restricting smoking in public places cannot protect children as they are primarily exposed in their homes and/or cars. Therefore, it is necessary to improve both public and individual health education concerned with protection of children against exposure to tobacco smoke. In sone countries, the active advice services by health professionals are targeted on families with ailing children and " Smoke-free homes" programmes are being developed. In Czech Republic, school-based educational anti-smoking programmes address parental interest in protecting children against passive smoking. The results so for have been ambiguous: there is a lack of intensive political support of tobacco control and society tolerates the consumption of legal drugs.
