The school nurse is planning a smoking prevention program for middle school students. Which is most likely to be effective in preventing this population from smoking?
1. A demonstration of the pathophysiology of the effects of smoking tobacco on the body given by the school's biology teacher
2. A talk on the importance of not smoking given by a local high school basketball star
3. Colorful posters with catchy slogans displayed throughout the school
4. A pledge campaign during which students sign contracts saying that they will not use tobacco products

Explanation:
1. A physical demonstration may help the children recognize the long-term effects of smoking, but information from adults is not likely to influence children of this age more than the pressure of their peers will.
2. While all of the strategies are good, the most effective would be to have a local high school basketball star come to talk to the students about the importance of not smoking because students at this age are more likely to listen to and attempt to emulate someone of their own peer group.
3. Information from posters is not likely to influence children of this age more than the pressure of their peers will.
4. Information from signed contracts is not likely to influence children of this age more than the pressure of their peers will.
