It's ridiculous to think school children are ONLY learning this stupid habit at school. Just look around you. There are smokers everywhere and they were "role models" long before kids start school.

I mean, smoking is generally not something to be done in school nyway is it, you're there to learn, and smoke hidden in break time.

Surely it's the kids themselves choosing to smoke for whatever reason, their friends or peers doing it etc. You dont fully undertsand a lot of decisions you make when you're a child, but no one person or authority has any business telling you what or what not to do. You can smoke if you want to, in this day and age. Perhaps this laxity is lacking in India, rather than excessive in Holland? It would be incredibly imprudent to suggest that one countries rules will suit another.

Smoking in schools? There are no tobacco shops around 200 metres of schools, and there is no smoking in schools...Too much laxity for kids in Holland..
