Schools
Students spend a significant portion of their waking hours at school; hence schools can play a crucial role in preventing and reducing tobacco use in children and adolescents. Hawaii schools have implemented comprehensive anti-tobacco policies whereby smoking is not allowed on any public school campus, by anyone or at anytime. Evidence shows that education programs that include instruction on the physical and social consequences of tobacco use, social influences on tobacco use, peer norms, and life skills can prevent or reduce tobacco use among students.
