WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- A blogger, Mr Michael Mbele who initiated the plan to petition Government and council to remove the billboard said he is concerned that the billboard could influence children to smoke. He said: > I am seriously concerned about Mpopoma High students because that Pacific billboard will have devastating effects on them. Mr Allan Moyo who has a son who learns at Mpopoma High School said the billboard sends a wrong message as some pupils are already suffering from drug abuse. He said it will be difficult for pupils to be advised against substance abuse when they are exposed to such a billboard. Moyo said he hopes that something positive will come out of their petition. Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education spokesperson Mr Taungana Ndoro told the Chronicle that there is nothing wrong with the advert as long as it carries a message that says ‘smoking is harmful to your health’ as it teaches children that they must not smoke. *Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
