Participants in this arm will receive the health game intervention including both 20 minutes guided training session at school and 2 weeks free usage of the health game during free time.
Health game
Health game intervention consists of 20 minutes guided training session with the health game at school and 2 weeks free usage of the health game via own smart phone or tablet computer during free time. The health game includes textual information about the consequences of tobacco use, but also visualized elements that aim at supporting understanding of the information, and motivation and ability to use the information in daily life situations. The visualized content is presented in a format of a game including tasks, rules, goals, rewards and opponents. There are also sound effects and background music included in the game.
Web page group
Participants in this arm will receive the web page intervention including both 20 minutes guided training session at school and 2 weeks free usage of the web page during free time.

The web page includes textual information about the consequences of tobacco use, but also visualized elements that aim at supporting understanding of the information, and motivation and ability to use the information in daily life situations. The visualized elements are presented with pictures and video clips. These visualized elements do NOT contain game elements (NO activating tasks, rules, goals, rewards or opponents). The video clips contain sound effects, but no background music.
