Israel Celebrates "A Day Without Smoking"  

The Israeli Ministry of Education and the Israeli Cancer Association have created a special project to help prevent teenage smoking.

Students popular in their school, and willing to take part in the project, were trained to speak to their friends about the dangers of smoking and about addiction in general.

[Adi Karas, Participant of the Project]: "They were really surprised by what we told them because they didn't really know what the cigarette contains or how dangerous it is to use drugs.
