Smoke Free Metro Manila Video Making Contest Mechanics

CONCEPT:

MMDA is conducting orientation on smoke free environment to high school students in

schools in Metro Manila. Students are informed of the prevalence of smoking among Filipinos, adults

and the youth, the effects of tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke. This is in support to the

objective of the government to decrease the prevalence of smoking among the youth. The Global

Youth Tobacco Survey conducted in 2015 shows that 16% of the youth aging 13-15 years old are

using any form of tobacco product. There is a significant increase in smoking among the youth from

the GYTS conducted in 2011 (13.7%).

Awareness is believed a key strategy to help decrease the number of smokers. Once the

students learn the ill effects tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke can bring to their lives,

they may not start the habit and get addicted. Likewise, learnings they acquire may be transferred to

their family, relatives and friends. The youth can be effective partners in the advocacy.
