Children's peers are best people to warn of smoking dangers - The Independent 9th May 2008

The most important health warning that parents can give their children – don't smoke – is best delivered by their friends, researchers have found. Training children who are popular at school to educate their peers about the dangers of smoking could cut the number who take up the habit by more than a fifth, a study showed. If the same technique were used nationwide, the number of children aged 14 and 15 who take up smoking could be cut by 43,000 a year, researchers estimate.
