Intro: About 44.82 per cent of students are exposed to tobacco. School environments are yet to become tobacco-free zones. This is why yesterday in Yaounde, the Secretary of State at the Ministry of Secondary Education, Catherine Abena, officially launched the national school competition on plastic arts under the theme "School free from tobacco, drugs and AIDS". The competition, which begins from March 26th in all secondary schools in the country, is aimed at helping students express their knowledge and ideas on tobacco and HIV through arts. The competition will not only render school premises free from tobacco, drugs and HIV but will enable the artistic works of students to be used as items to sensitise the school community against drugs and tobacco. Special prizes will be awarded to teachers who cease smoking.
