The program "Free to choose" was a school-based program aimed at encouraging secondary school students to lead healthy lifestyles and free from tobacco smoke. The project was part of a wider project named "Free from tobacco smoke", implemented in kindergarten, elementary and secondary schools in Lombardy (Italy). The "Free to choose" program was a controlled, non randomized study involving 2,145 subjects aged 16 years, of whom 1,063 participated in the activities laid out by the program (treatment group) and 1,082 only completed the questionnaires (control group). The program did not achieve the aim of reducing the number of subjects who start smoking. However, an increased awareness of the risks of smoking was observed among "treated" subjects as well as an increased number of non smokers who intend to refuse a cigarette if they were offered one.
“自由选择”项目是一项以学校为基础的项目，旨在鼓励中学生养成健康的生活方式并免受烟草烟雾危害。该项目是名为“免受烟草烟雾危害”的更广泛项目的一部分，该广泛项目在意大利伦巴第大区的幼儿园、小学和中学实施。“自由选择”项目是一项对照、非随机研究，涉及2145名16岁的受试者，其中1063人参与了该项目安排的活动（治疗组），1082人仅完成了问卷调查（对照组）。该项目未实现减少开始吸烟的受试者数量这一目标。然而，在“接受治疗”的受试者中观察到对吸烟风险的认识有所提高，以及打算拒绝他人提供香烟的非吸烟者数量有所增加。
