    True or false: The complete prohibition of tobacco consumption is the most important measure of the control of the smoking epidemic?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The complete prohibition of tobacco consumption may not necessarily be the most important measure for controlling the smoking epidemic. While it may be effective in reducing smoking rates, other measures such as public awareness campaigns, increased taxes on tobacco products, and stricter regulations on advertising and packaging can also play a significant role in reducing smoking prevalence. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the complete prohibition of tobacco consumption is the most important measure.

    Correct Answer
    A. Nicotine
    Explanation
    Nicotine is the substance contained in tobacco smoke that has the most impact on the cardiovascular system. Nicotine is a highly addictive stimulant that increases heart rate, constricts blood vessels, and raises blood pressure. These effects put strain on the cardiovascular system and can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems. Nitrosamines and oxidant substances, while also harmful, do not have as significant of an impact on the cardiovascular system as nicotine does.

    The global number of annual deaths by passive smoking is:

    • 2.5 million

    • 1 million

    • 600.000

    • 250.000

    • 1.500

    Correct Answer
    A. 600.000
    Explanation
    Passive smoking refers to the inhalation of secondhand smoke from the burning of tobacco products. The given answer, 600,000, suggests that the global number of annual deaths caused by passive smoking is 600,000. This indicates that a significant number of individuals worldwide are dying each year due to exposure to secondhand smoke. Passive smoking has been linked to various health issues, including respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and lung cancer. Therefore, it is crucial to create smoke-free environments and promote awareness about the dangers of secondhand smoke to reduce the number of deaths caused by passive smoking.

    The most effective measure to decrease the number of tobacco related deaths in the next 50 years, is to: 

    • Increase the tobacco price

    • Perform population-wide prevention campaigns

    • Forbid tobacco consumption in (closed) public places

    • Encourage active smokers to get smoking-cessation treatment

    • Prevent relapse in former smokers

    Correct Answer
    A. Encourage active smokers to get smoking-cessation treatment
    Explanation
    Encouraging active smokers to get smoking-cessation treatment is the most effective measure to decrease the number of tobacco-related deaths in the next 50 years. This approach targets the root cause of the issue by helping smokers quit smoking altogether. Smoking-cessation treatments can include counseling, medications, and support programs, which have been proven to increase the chances of successfully quitting smoking. By providing resources and support to active smokers, the likelihood of them quitting and reducing the risk of tobacco-related health problems, including death, is significantly increased.

    Correct Answer
    A. A chronic disease of addictive character
    Explanation
    Tabaquism refers to the chronic use of tobacco products, such as cigarettes, which is known to be highly addictive. It is considered a chronic disease because it often persists over a long period of time and can have detrimental effects on a person's health.
