Tobacco is a legal but addictive drug in Spain. Smoking one pack per day can cost over €1,150 per year. It is difficult for smokers to quit due to psychological addiction, though nicotine replacements can help. Many teenagers smoke because of peer pressure from friends, so it is important to say "no" if offered a cigarette to avoid manipulation or harder drugs in the future. Smoking causes both short-term effects like increased blood pressure and long-term health issues including lung disease, heart disease, and various cancers.

Most modern cigarettes are filtered and contain additional additives. Cigarette smoking rates vary widely between populations and have changed over time, declining in developed nations but continuing to rise in developing countries. Nicotine is highly addictive and causes smokers to crave more cigarettes. Long-term smoking leads to numerous health issues like cancer, heart disease, and lung damage.

Smoking
This document discusses smoking and its health effects. It defines smoking as burning a substance and inhaling the smoke. Tobacco contains nicotine, which is addictive, and people use tobacco via smoking, chewing, or snuff. Smoking causes over 3 million premature deaths per year due to diseases like cancer, heart disease, and lung disease. When tobacco burns, it produces over 4000 chemicals like nicotine, carbon monoxide, and tar. These chemicals are harmful and can cause health issues. However, quitting smoking can significantly reduce health risks over time as the body recovers. Education is important to prevent youth smoking initiation and protect non-smokers from secondhand smoke.

This document discusses several common myths and misconceptions about smoking. It addresses the ideas that smoking helps with stress relief, weight control, and Alzheimer's prevention, but finds that the evidence shows smoking actually increases stress and risk of dementia. It also debunks notions that light cigarettes, cutting down, or a single cigarette are safer alternatives, stating the only way to reduce risk is quitting completely. The document advises against using nicotine replacements long-term or during pregnancy without consulting a doctor first. Finally, it dismisses the idea that someone living to an old age while smoking means smoking is safe.
Script
Tommy argues that smoking is harmful and addictive for several reasons:
1) Nicotine in cigarettes is highly addictive, making it very difficult for smokers to quit once they start.
2) Smoking increases the risks of various cancers, cardiovascular diseases, kidney failure, and other serious health issues that can lead to early death.
3) While smoking may provide temporary stress relief, the long-term health risks outweigh any potential benefits.

New brand candies
This document warns about new drug-laced candies that can harm users. It describes LSD-flavored lemon candies that cause mood swings and anxiety. Jelly beans laced with MDMA increase sociability but risk of death with frequent use. Methamphetamine cocktail candies may induce psychosis, paranoia, and heart problems. Heroin-cola candies pose risks of overdose, diseases like HIV and hepatitis, and can destroy one's life. The document advises that trying these candies can cause harm and loss of everything.
Bullying
Bullying causes immense suffering for its victims and often stems from the bullies' own insecurities or experiences being bullied. Talking to someone about bullying is not difficult and can help stop it before it escalates or causes someone to consider suicide. Both bullies and victims would benefit from seeking help rather than allowing the abuse to continue or create suffering for others.
Internet
The document discusses the importance of being careful about what personal information you share online. It notes that criminals often use victims' computer information to acquire private details. It advises only sharing details on reliable websites and knowing who you're communicating with online, as many murders and kidnappings have resulted from contact with strangers on social media. It concludes by reminding readers that computers are a work tool but how you use them is your choice, and to consider any risks before uploading information online.
Bullying
Bullying is commonly understood as repeated aggressive behavior intended to harm someone physically or mentally. However, over 50% of boys and girls in a country experience bullying, most commonly by other boys. While boys are more often the bullies, 20% of bullies are girls who psychologically abuse other girls. Stories of real bullying victims who have ended their lives due to depression, anxiety, loneliness, and health issues from bullying show why addressing bullying is important. Telling real stories of bullying through books and films helps current victims feel more comfortable and confident in confronting their own experiences, believing that with help they can overcome it as well.
Alcohol
The document discusses the myths and effects of drinking alcohol, especially among college students. It notes that while some drink to relax or feel older, alcohol can actually cause brain damage, heart attacks, and liver damage. It also states that 16% of college women who got a sexually transmitted disease were drunk at the time. College students collectively spend more on alcohol each year than soft drinks, tea, milk, juice, coffee, or books combined. The document encourages readers to think carefully about why they drink and warns that drinking too much can have serious negative health consequences or even lead to death.
Drugs
Drug use is growing, especially among young people aged 20-30, and often leads to addiction, anguish, health problems, and even death. The document describes a mother crying at her son's grave who died from a drug overdose, asking the reader to imagine being in her or her son's shoes. It notes that while death is one possible consequence of drug use, addiction and harm to the nervous system are also outcomes, and people often lie, steal, and use drugs to cope with social problems rather than address the underlying issues. The document concludes by asking why people still use drugs despite knowing these facts, and encourages the reader to help change the situation and prevent friends from falling into drug addiction.
Social Networks
Everyone has computers and plays video games or uses social networks, which can cause problems for children like increased aggression from violent games, eye strain, and confusion between reality and fantasy. However, games can also teach computer skills and be educational. Social networks pose risks like inappropriate photos being shared and contact with unknown people online. These issues have solutions like limiting screen time, controlling who you connect with online, and asking for help managing technology use.
Birth Control
Long ago, sex was only for procreation but views have changed as contraceptive methods now allow safe sex. Contraceptives in pharmacies exist because views changed and methods like sterilization, IUDs, implants and injections are over 99% effective while condoms, diaphragms, pills and patches range from 85-98% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. Without contraception, sexually active people risk unwanted pregnancy and STDs like AIDS, hepatitis and herpes.
Eating disorders
Eating disorders like obesity, anorexia, and bulimia affect many people worldwide, especially teenagers. In the United States, as many as 10% of young women suffer from an eating disorder. Eating disorders are caused by unhealthy, oily fast food and a desire to emulate thin fashion models. Proper nutrition is important for health and happiness, so people should eat homemade, balanced meals instead of fast food and focus on overall wellness rather than just weight or appearance.
Alcohol
Drinking alcohol in parks can negatively impact health as even small amounts lead to impaired coordination, slowed reaction time, slurred speech and blurred vision. Heavy drinking poses serious risks like heart failure and respiratory failure. For youth, drinking is also illegal and can have worse health effects than for adults due to ongoing development.
Bullying
Bullying is a serious problem that occurs when more powerful people repeatedly act violently towards less powerful individuals. It can take place in schools, churches, workplaces, homes, and neighborhoods. Victims of bullying often suffer long-term emotional and behavioral issues like loneliness, depression, and anxiety, and bullying leads to several suicides each year. Everyone has the right to live without feeling bullied, so victims should speak up when they are being bullied so it can be stopped.
Anorexia
The document discusses the negative health effects of pursuing perfection, as perfection does not exist. Instead of seeking the impossible goal of perfection, it is better to aim for good health, which is achievable. Pursuing an abnormally low heart rate and blood pressure can lead to heart failure, heart attacks, and other issues like hair loss, bone weakness, muscle loss, and even death in some cases. The document warns about the high "price of 'perfection'" in terms of health problems.

After this breakthrough surgery, Barnard became internationally renowned but also faced criticism from some in the medical field. He went on to write several books and papers on heart trans
Whilem Conrad Rontgen
Wilhelm Röntgen was a German physicist born in 1845 who made groundbreaking discoveries about X-rays in 1895. While experimenting with cathode rays, he observed that a nearby piece of cardboard coated with fluorescent material glowed without being touched. He continued his experiments and found that he could see the bones of his hand through flesh using this new kind of ray. Röntgen went on to take the first ever X-ray photo, of his wife's hand. He shared his discovery widely, and it had a huge impact, leading to his being awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901. However, the rays were also found to be dangerous if overexposed to them. Röntgen continued his

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Tobacco
- 1. TOBACCO, THE LEGAL DRUG • As we all know in Spain the tobacco is allowed, so it is known as a legal and passive drug a pack of FORTUNA tobacco costs € 3.15, imagine a person who smokes a pack of cigarrettes per day, in a week he will spend € 22.05, in a month he will spend € 94.5, and in a year he will spend € 1150... Try to give up smoking is a psycological thing that is so hard to quit, there are medical aids such as nicotine patches, gums. • May most of teenagers who smokes are because all their friends smoke, or maybe, because his friends encourage him to smoke, in this last case, is someone offers you tobacco you have to say NO!!, if you say yes you are satisfying the person who offers it you, and also this show that you are easily manipulated and easily influenced by your friends. Think, the first step is that someone offers you a cigarrete, but, who tells you that this person wouldn’t offers you other harder drug in the future? In conclusion if someone offers it to you say NO!! and if they try to convince you become a deaf ear. • What are short term effects? When a person smokes a cigarrete, the body responds immediately to the nicotine contained in smoke. Nicotine causes a increase in blood pressure, heart rate and blood flow from the heart. It also causes arteries to anrrow. Carbon monoxide reduces the amount of oxigen that blood can carry. What are long term effects? It is now common knowledge that smoking can cause chronic lung diseases, heart disease and stroke, and lung, larynx, esophagus, mouth and bladder cancer. In addition, the consumption of tobacco contribute to develop cancer of the cervix, pancreas and kidneys, Researchers have indentified more than 40 chemicals in the smoke of tobacco to cause cancer in humans and animals.
