Thank God!, It is in UK and not in UAE. I wish it is not
followed here. Having said that, I can say, even now I do get to see regularly
children of a reputed school, smoking hiding behind buildings in front of their
school and before they enter their school gate daily. Talking to the groceries
nearby and reprimanding them to not give any cigarettes to students, I feel,
these are easily available at sources who do not care. Parents have a big role
as well as teachers at schools too to check whether children are indulging in
this. If parents or teachers are in the smoking category, no luck for who speak
against smoking. According to me, smoking and specially, smoking in public is
strictly injurious to others health and mind, not if to those who do it.
