Ector is more than just a teddy bear. For the first time, a concrete tool of prevention has joined the homes of Italian families in order to protect their little ones. Designed to grow up with children, Ector is a first step to make a smoke-free generation possible.

Background

Often when a smoker lights up a cigarette, he/she does not pay attention to what surrounds him or her. This is probably one of the reasons why World Health Organization says that in Italy 52% of children – at the age of 2 - are regularly exposed to passive smoking. To tackle this issue, Roche – world’s largest biotech company – wanted to help the unprotected ones by drawing attention to the problem of smoking in our country and by providing a concrete tool of self-defence. If children understand how dangerous is smoking, they will have less chances of becoming smokers in the future.
