Question

which is a direct benefit of prohibiting nicotine and tobacco use in schools?
o an increase in student enrollment
the prevention of second - hand smoke
o an increase in participation in sports
a decrease in the sale of e - cigarettes

Explanation:

Prohibiting nicotine and tobacco use in schools directly stops the release of second - hand smoke. Second - hand smoke is the smoke exhaled by smokers or emitted from the burning end of a cigarette, cigar, or pipe. When use is prohibited, students and staff are not exposed to this harmful smoke. An increase in student enrollment is more related to factors like school reputation, curriculum, etc. An increase in sports participation is likely due to sports promotion, facilities, etc. A decrease in e - cigarette sales is a more indirect effect (if students were major buyers, but this is not as direct as preventing second - hand smoke).

Answer:

the prevention of second - hand smoke
