The multiples dimensions of Tobacco Smoking: Learning Activities and Learning Objects
Description
Tobacco has been growing wild in the Americas for nearly 8000 years. Around 2,000 years ago tobacco began to be chewed and smoked during cultural or religious ceremonies and events. The first European to discover smoking was Christopher Columbus. In 1531 tobacco was cultivated for the first time in Europe. By 1600 tobacco use had spread across Europe and by the 1700s smoking had become more widespread and a tobacco industry had developed. Cigarette making machines were developed in the latter half of the 1800s. The first such machines produced about 200 cigarettes per minute (today’s machines produce about 9,000 per minute). Cheap mass production and the use of cigarette advertising allowed tobacco companies to expand their markets during this period. The prevalence of cigarette smoking continued to grow in the early 20th Century. Smoking increased dramatically during the world wars, mainly due to the policy of providing free cigarettes to allied troops as a ‘morale boosting’ exercise. Later in the twentieth century, smoking became less popular. According to different researchers, tobacco smoking has been implicated as the cause of various diseases. In addition, it has been estimated that thousands of people die each year due to exposure to passive tobacco smoking. Over the last few months, it has been observed that many students in your school smoke a lot, even though they are aware of the biological consequences of smoking. Parents and teachers at your school are very worried about this increase of smoking. Your mission is to investigate the following primary research questions: 1. What are the biological, social, economic, cultural, and ethical dimensions of tobacco smoking? 2. What are the main reasons 9th grade students in our school give for tobacco smoking? 3. What are the main reasons people of the local community where you live give for tobacco smoking among students in our school?
