What major insight have I gained so far from my on-going experiences in engaging in the initiative?

As me and my groupmates were discussing as to what problem we were going to address, I realized something.

"We should tackle the things that are abused and overlooked in society right now."

Thus, we chose to target the people who are smoking. Yes, smoking is a vice. Yes, smoking relaxes people. But smoking? It is really something that should be addressed to appropriately. Statistically speaking, smoking has killed a lot of people.


From our government initiative project, we believe that we're able to subdue some of the people that we were aiming to address. We believe that smoking is a growing concern in our school (yes, our target is our school.) We chose smoking because it's one of the things that people cannot live without, but also the thing that kills people. Additionally, smoking debilitates our health. If we aim to be an effective country, then we have to subdue these vices. This became our concern because we wanted to aim for societal development. After all, we're students of AB- Developmental Studies. So far, we've been trying to ask and convince some people to stop smoking. We explain what smoking does, what its harmful effects are and the like.



If we can accomplish this, we will be a step closer to improvement. What we're doing so far is we're telling people near agno the dangerous effects of smoking. So far though, we believe we're doing okay. I've learned that the people who are smoking just smoke because they're stressed. What we aim to tell them is that there are alternatives to smoking.
