I. Purpose
The purpose of this Informational Letter is to recommend that local social services districts and voluntary agencies with foster boarding home programs review their current policy and practices concerning foster parents and foster children and the smoking of tobacco, if such a review has not been undertaken in the last few years. This review is recommended to support the good health of foster children residing in foster homes and to take necessary steps to avoid the dangers caused by a child smoking tobacco or being exposed to second-hand smoke.
