The musical performance will feature stories, music, and stage production designed to be accessible for students, making it easier to convey the dangers of smoking. The "Golden Scholarship Quiz," conducted in the form of an OX (Yes or No) quiz, allows students to learn health knowledge in an engaging way.

Other activities, such as sand art themed on smoking prevention and experiential education, including lung function tests to highlight the harmful effects of smoking, are also expected to receive positive feedback. The musical will be held at the Jangseong Culture and Arts Center, while the other programs will be brought directly to schools.

An official from the Jangseong County Public Health Center said, "We hope that children and adolescents will recognize the dangers of smoking and develop healthy lifestyle habits by participating in these educational programs."
