«There are no harmless cigarettes»

On November 12, 2024, a conversation was held with middle school students in the Sepeyevskaya rural library, «There are no harmless cigarettes.» In recent years, more and more people have been giving up cigarettes. But children and adolescents are still vulnerable: they start smoking without a clear idea of ​​their motives, the harm of tobacco, and not knowing how to say «no.» In order to build a conversation in accordance with the interests of children, I collected information in advance about what issues worry them, what they know about cigarettes, and how favorable their environment is in this regard. I asked the children questions: Do your parents smoke?
Do people smoke in your company?
At what age do you think children/adolescents start smoking?
Why do children start smoking?
