PDS Students Taught to Say No To Smoking
By Cedrina Norlaila A Clark

Bandar Seri Begawan - When somebody approaches and says, 'Do you want a smoke?' will you take up the offer?

Students at the PDS School and PDS International School were given a valuable lesson yesterday - to say no to smoking. They were taught how to decline such insidious invitations and why they should do so.

They were also exposed to the harmful effects of smoking, which could affect themselves, the society and the environment. The dangerous effects of second hand smoke, especially to young children was also highlighted as part of the school's anti smoking campaign called, "Say No To Smoking".

Talks, accompanied by visual aids drove home a powerful message that smoking was dangerous. Activities such as poster and banner making also helped students further understand the devastating effects of smoking.

To deepen understanding on this issue, students also took part in composition writing contests and role-playing. Students dove into their tasks with great enthusiasm and more activities are being planned as part of the campaign. (Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin)
