National Anti-Smoking Class Competition Lasts Six Months
A six-month anti-smoking class competition. Students signed a contract to not smoke and had weekly checks on adherence.

The National Anti-Smoking Class Competition lasted approximately six months. All students have signed a contract pledging not to smoke during the competition, meaning they will say "no" to any form of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, hookahs, tobacco, and nicotine.


The school will conduct weekly checks to determine if 90% of students are complying with the contract.


Meanwhile, the 7a class of the Lünen-Neustadt school participated in a creative competition on the topic and created a video. The students collected statements against smoking and drew pictures. They also went to the Grevenbroich train station and filmed cigarette butts on the ground.


Class 7a convinced the jury with their video and received a class fund of 300 euros. The representative presented the check to their classmates and congratulated them on completing a great collaborative project.
