Is there a way APC can stop Smoking?

How can smoking be addictive?  Every time you’re smoking, cigarette creates and reinforces this addiction. If you stop smoking, you’ll get nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine is an addictive drug that makes you physically and psychologically dependent on it. This means you get withdrawal symptoms if you don't smoke.

But still I don’t understand how come it is addictive, because I never smoke nor drink. So I don’t know how they feel. But I know the feeling of being addicted to something. Before, I used to eat such snacks that are sweet, salty and fatty foods, but when I learned that restraining myself from eating those can be beneficial, I started training myself as early as I can how? I started it step by step, first I minimize the amount until I never consume such foods again. Although I still tend to consume some of them but as much as possible I only eat vegetables. At first, it is hard to stop the habit that you are used to, but it only takes true and much determination to manage doing it. It will take some time but if you can make it, the results can be an advantage to you.

Until now, to be honest I still want to eat foods like potato chips, French fries, chocolates etc. but I have to suffer for now because when I grow up, I can eat those without getting sick in return. Good for me I can manage my cravings to those foods by starting the routine earlier, and I feel good about it, because I save money, my body looks good somehow plus my life can be longer.

Is there a way APC can stop smoking? Answer there is a way, but it won’t be easy for the students to do it, because it became their habit and I know how it feels like. Sad to say not all people are like me that can manage such a thing, but here are my ideas:

1.      Give additional grades for those who can stop smoking. +2 to every subject per semester

2.      If APC will charge the students every time they smoke. p500 per stick.

3.      All of the students will be rewarded if they caught anyone who smokes. Either a grade, money, benefits etc. anything that can motivate them to hunt down and point out the smokers.

4.      Increase the price of the cigarettes. One box equals p2000.

I think my ideas are too crazy, but it can be a solution if executed well. I know APC tries their best to stop smoking, but the best solution is the students, because only they can help themselves.
