UK: Pupils will get nicotine patches
Children as young as 12 are to be given nicotine patches by health workers in an effort to help them stop smoking.
Pupils at all six secondary schools in Derwentside, County Durham, will be offered nicotine replacement therapy.
A pilot programme at a nearby school last year resulted in about half the small sample of children quitting.
Under the new project, school nurses will be able to offer patches to children who show signs of being addicted to cigarettes.

...but it's the nicotine that's addictive, and smoking is more habit-forming than addictive... they should give them lollipops instead... lol.
don't mind me, i just think smoking is stupid in general :P

Hmm...I ight do a bit of research to this, because this is basicly giving students mediation, which could have side effects or allergic reactions to some students...
