What to say to a smoker
The short video you have just watched hopefully gives you more confidence to have a conversation with anyone smoking on site. Remember the following points.
- Prepare – Think of three sentences that you could say to someone who is smoking
- Practice saying them
- Keep the conversation short – Say what you have to say and then leave
- Remember to say thank you for your time
Remember your body language
- Think confidently
- Don’t be confrontational. Stand or sit next to them
- If eye contact is difficult, look at the mouth and nose area
- Stick to what you are comfortable with
