GENERAL INFORMATION
Title
Looking after myself and others - Substance Tobacco
Description
Currently tobacco products are estimated to be responsible for 3 million deaths annually worldwide, or about 6% of all deaths. But by the early 2030s, it is expected to cause 10.9% of all deaths in developing countries and 17.7% of those in developed countries, more than any single disease. The statistics of tobacco-related mortality worldwide are devastating. Tobacco is a known or probable cause of about 25 diseases; hence its impact on global disease is tremendous, if not yet fully appreciated (WHO, 2016). The main goal of this unit is to promote students’ understanding on the structure and function of the human respiratory system, the health effects of tobacco smoking, the biological, social, cultural and economic dimensions of smoking, as well as challenges of stopping smoking. Understanding human respiratory system’s function is critical to keeping human body healthy and responsive to situations and medical problems that could be encountered. Another goal of this unit is to promote students’ epistemological understanding, high-order thinking skills and communication and collaboration skills. A socioscientific topic related to biological, social, cultural, and economic dimensions of tobacco smoking provides the scenario for the inquiry-based primary questions of this unit related to the learning topic: Looking after myself and others: Tobacco.
