Lessons about tobacco should be in a range of school subjects and
take in more than the physical impact of smoking, say public
health advisers.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice)
wants to stop youngsters from starting to smoke.
It wants information about tobacco to be taught more broadly and
to include the legal, economic and social issues.
But Simon Clark of the smokers\' lobby group, Forest, warned
"no-one likes to be nagged, least of all teenagers".
