• Feasibility of intervention
• Acceptance of intervention by schools, teachers, parents and teachers
• Adherence to the 4-week intervention
• Functional online quiz platform
• Satisfaction of students and parents towards intervention Researchers will compare the questionnaire results from students to see if students doing tobacco-related questions on the online quiz platform will have better tobacco-related knowledge, higher anti-tobacco attitudes and lower intention to smoke.

Students will engage in an online quiz competition for 4 weeks on tobacco-related topics for the intervention group and on healthy eating for the control group. They will complete pre-test and post-test questionnaires before and after the online quiz competition.
