Research proposal:- Smoking among Students of grade (10th and 12th)
Problem Statement:
Despite knowing about the deadly diseases that smoking can cause, there is an increasing trend in its popularity . The problem on which we base the research are :
Are all the students who smoke actually aware of the harmful effects? If they are then why they are still having it?
Are not they get enough education about the diseases cause by smoking?

Since behaviors and attitudes adopted in late childhood or early adolescence predicts future smoking, it is important to understand the smoking and other risk-taking behaviors and attitudes of children aged 12 and younger. There supports the idea of early identification and targeting of children at high risk of smoking in middle school, possibly as early as grade seven.
2-Objectives of the Study: a- There is a need to amicably evaluate such knowledge, attitude as well as behavior of school children those in 10th and 12th grade and inform them with regards to the consequences of smoking mostly affecting their health conditions;
b- There is utmost goal for describing substantial affective factors associated with the presence of smoking among school children (grades 10 and 12) that can be through school and health campaigns showing the students that smoking is really dangerous to their health c- To develop educational information for schools to teach students about negative effects on health
