Methodology aims elaboration of topics such as perception, personality, healthy lifestyle and smoking. Parts of a tale (Four life of Csiszta squirrel) and a few exercises support the elaboration of them. Exercises include activities connecting with smoking. Elaboration of program needs the cooperation of kindergarteners, kindergarten teachers and parents.

/ Dr Lee Jong-wook, Director-General, WHO/

WHO has underlined the importance of smoking prevention in early ages in the Article 12 of Framework Convention on Tobacco Control**
