Smoking is a widespread problem in our school, and this is a common age teenagers try their first cigarette in our community. Students chose this topic to convince smokers to stop and warn non smokers against its dangers. They tried to deliver this message through different ways: a mural, a campaign and an awareness day.

II. Painting a mural
III. Campaigning against smoking
IV. Organizing an awareness day

4. Smoking is a wide
spread problem in
Tunisia, especially in
our school. At this
age, people have just
started or will start
smoking that’s why we
chose this topic, we
believe that we can
achieve short term
goals,

5. By painting the mural, we wanted to:
 Draw our friends’ attention to the difference
between beeing a smoker and a non-smoker.
 Have something concrete that will encourage
smokers to quit and non-smokers to resisit.
 Make pupils curious about our project.
 Have fun.

6.  Raising funds: to buy the painting material we sold
home-made food at school.

8.  Buynig the material

9.  Our friend Aicha is
the one who drew
the picture on the
wall and we all
helped her to color it
 The mural:

11. The final result:

12. We designed a poster representing death to tell our friends how dangerous
smoking is, we also distributed leaflets including some statistics , illnesses
caused by smoking and some tips to quit

15. We invited pupils and teachers in our school to attend a meeting
where they will have the opportunity to disscuss this topic with a
doctor.
Our guests

16. The doctor :
 Gave statistics about smoking
in Tunisia
 Enumarated the components
of a cigarette
 Warned us about the
drawbacks of smoking
 Explained how we can keep
distance from cigarettes

17.  Pupils interacted by asking many
questions about passive smoking,
electronic cigarettes….

19.  We are very happy to spread the word about
the dangers of smoking and to help some of
our friends find a solution to this issue,
