Both lederforeningen for vocational schools and erhvervsgymnasier and gymnasierektorerne in Danish high Schools want uniform rules with zero smoke for all on the cross of upper secondary education.

– We support 100 percent up on the non-school hours. If we get a national ban on smoking in school time and also away from the area, it becomes undeniably easier for us, says chairman of the Danish Colleges Birgitte Vedersø.

– The majority of school leaders are interested in introducing non-school hours, but some are afraid to do it on its own initiative, if it can put them in a bad competitive position compared to the other schools, says Niels Them Kjær, project manager for tobacco in the society, to Politiken.
