This study will assess the intervention effects on children's exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (including SHS and THS at home, SHS at home from neighbours and SHS outside home), children's SHS-related knowledge and attitude, intention to smoke, respiratory symptoms, parents' smoking cessation, and family happiness.

We will invite all P2-4 students from 12 schools randomly selected from the 100 schools (which watched the performance by Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health) to participate in this cluster RCT, as they are able to understand simple questionnaires and other self-help intervention materials, yet remain very receptive to intervention activities from our experience. Inclusion criteria for hair nicotine test: 1\) exposed to secondhand smoke at home from smokers inside home in any of the past 7 days; 2) living with at least 1 smoker; 3) Never smoking or using e-cigarettes.
