Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine how well group outings can teach young people in hilly regions about the hazards of tobacco use. The research project included a wide range of educational events, such as seminars, workshops, and awareness campaigns, all aimed at spreading the word about the dangers of smoking. Fifty teenagers (15-24) from the mountains participated in this study. Knowledge and perspective about smoking were assessed by giving participants pre- and post-tests. The outcomes indicated that participants gained substantial knowledge and exhibited a positive attitude shift regarding smoking. Findings from the study point to the potential importance of socialization activities in reducing adolescent smoking in mountainous regions. As a result, it is suggested that similar campaigns be maintained in order to educate the younger generation on the dangers of smoking and encourage them to adopt better lifestyles.
