The harms of smoking cigarettes are being highlighted by Guernsey teenagers tomorrow.

GCSE drama students from the Grammar school are performing in a pop-up shop in Smith Street, St Peter Port, with the hope their sketches can raise awareness of the dangers of the habit.

It is ahead of National No Smoking Day, which is March 8th.

    The year 10 drama students have been really focused and enthusiastic about getting the message of becoming smoke-free to the community. Using drama and theatre is a really powerful tool to get information across. The drama will be performed behind the shop window so it’s certainly a new type of theatre for the students and will be quite challenging for them to adapt to the new space.
