Make it catch on???

Hello, I'm looking for some kind of idiom for the situation where for example a student starts smoking in the school yard and by doing so, he indirectly tells his fellow students that smoking in school is not a big deal, in other words, he messes with the rule of "No smoking in school" ; I want to know if I can call that act (the idiom I'm trying to find) : " To make it catch on" ? , you know, because he's the one who "made smoking catch on" among the students. By the way if there's any grammatical problem with my text please let me know.

It is always better if you provide a sentence. The way an expression sits in a sentence makes a big difference in idiom.
