Policy Advocacy Communication Model for Preventing Smoking Among Teenagers in Bener Meriah Regency School Environment

Abstract

The issue of smoking is becoming progressively genuine, both for dynamic smokers and individuals around them who don’t smoke (detached smokers). The cause of smoking among youngsters is expanding, due to the expanding concentration of publicizing, particularly portraying smoking as cool, and cheap cost of cigarettes. Cross-sector participation in dealing with KTR in schools is vital since execution is way better with cross-sector commitment and participation. The resultant information is considered to be exceptionally compelling and critical in changing students’ states of mind and practices regarding the threats of smoking, that is to say that, there is a relationship between information and early adolescents’ activities concerning KTR approaches in junior high schools. The method used in the study is in-depth interviews. Results show that companions have the most significant influence on pre-adult smoking behavior compared to mass media and peers. A few of the deterrents that exist within the bureaucratic structure, division of specialists, and extraordinary controls in a few schools in Bener Meriah have not been completely shaped, agreeing to Qanun number 1 of 2018 with respect to non-smoking zones in schools that still need to be moved forward. The study recommends more studies to be conducted on high-school students or young people who don’t go to school since their level of autonomy and social designs are distinctive from those that are in universities and colleges.
