ABSTRACT

One of the most complex problems in the world is drug addiction. Studies conducted by the World Health Organization revealed a decreasing life span beginning at the early onset of the consumption of addictive, portable drugs such as tobacco and alcohol, which are being consid-ered for consumption by most adolescents in their young stages of life. Educational institutions cannot put aside their task of educating "at-drug-use-risk" adolescents since this is one of their missions. However, sometimes teachers cannot rely on, nor do not they have the necessary train-ing and/or experience to develop and implement preventative measures, given the complexity of the problem requires a cross-sectional approach. This summary aims to avail teachers as well as academic leaders with some theoretical and methodological tools to ensure greater effectiveness in their development and implementation of drug use, preventative measures.


Las drogadicciones constituyen una de las más complejas problemáticas del mundo. Estudios realizados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud revelan una disminución de la edad de inicio del consumo de sustancias adictivas como el tabaco y el alcohol que constituyen drogas porteras; siendo consideradas la adolescencia y la juventud etapas de riesgo. Las instituciones educativas no pueden permanecer ajenas a esta tarea pues tienen la misión de formar integralmente a sus estudiantes. Sin embargo, en ocasiones, los docentes no cuentan con la formación y experiencia necesarias para desarrollar acciones preventivas, dado que la complejidad de esta problemática exige un abordaje multisectorial. El presente artículo de revisión persigue como propósito ofrecer a los maestros y líderes académicos algunos referentes teórico-metodológicos para garantizar una mayor efectividad en las acciones preventivas.

ABSTRACT

El tabaquismo es la principal causa mundial de enfermedades y muertes evitables. Muchas de éstas son, además, prematuras. En México esta adicción se ha convertido en un problema de salud pública. La última Encuesta Nacional de Tabaquismo reporta que, la epidemia de tabaquismo se ha incrementado en los países industrializados y en vías de desarrollo; la brecha entre el consumo de hombres y mujeres es muy similar, y el consumo se inicia a una edad cada vez más temprana, en los (primeros años de la adolescencia). La Organización Mundial de Salud (OMS) refiere que el hábito tabáquico mata casi seis millones de personas cada año, de los cuales cinco millones son usuarios y ex usuarios y más de 600,000 son no fumadores expuestos al humo de segunda mano; y es que a menos de que se tome acción, la cuota anual de muertes pudiera aumentar a más de 8 millones para el 2030; y casi el 80% de un millón de millones de fumadores viven en países de bajos y medianos ingresos. El Convenio Marco Contra el Tabaquismo(CMCT) auspiciado por la OMS es el primer tratado internacional sanitario en materia de tabaquismo. México fue el primer país en América Latina en refrendar el CMCT tras reconocer la magnitud del problema y sus complicaciones tanto en adultos como en menores de edad. El objetivo de este acuerdo es proporcionar un marco para identificar medidas de lucha antitabáquica que habrán de adoptarse mediante el compromiso de las partes para reducir el consumo de tabaco y proteger así a las generaciones presentes y futuras contra las consecuencias sanitarias, sociales, ambientales y económicas del consumo y de la exposición al humo del tabaco.


Tobacco-addiction is one of the principal causes of preventable illnesses and premature deaths in the world. In Mexico, tobacco-addiction has become a more serious public health problem. Data from the last National Survey on TobaccoAddiction suggest that its prevalence in developing countries has increased, its male-female consumption pattern has become more similar, and that it now starts at younger ages ­ the first years of adolescence. The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that tobacco now kills nearly six million people each year of whom more than 5 million are users and ex users and more than 600 000 are nonsmokers exposed to second-hand smoke; that unless urgent action is taken, the annual death toll could rise to more than eight million by 2030; and that nearly 80% of the world's one billion smokers live in low- and middle-income countries. An Agreement Frame against Tobacco Addiction supported by the WHO is one of the international sanitary treaties against tobacco addiction in which Mexico has acknowledged the magnitude of the problem and its complications for both adults and children. The objective of this agreement is to provide a frame to identify measures to fight against tobacco-addiction in order to protect present and future generations from tobacco smoke inhalation and its.

ABSTRACT

Smoking and tobacco addiction are serious public health problems worldwide. New research reveals that addiction to tobacco can begin very early, with very low levels of smoking. Family physicians are in a unique position to prevent smoking initiation by youths and to diagnose and treat tobacco addiction in young smokers. In this paper we discuss the factors that prompt youths to try smoking, how quickly addiction to tobacco begins after the onset of smoking, how a family physician can determine whether a young patient is addicted, and what the physician can do to prevent adolescent patients from beginning to smoke or to assist them to quit if they already smoke.
