“the DEBATE. 25 years ago we got a law on smoke-free school yard. Although it is smoked it freely in the nation’s schoolyards. More than 30 per cent of all students uses tobacco products during the school year, and nine out of ten young people say that friends ‘ influence is a reason to start smoking.
