CORDOVA-MORENO, Rebeca et al. Theoretical-practical educative model: smoking. Educ. quím [online]. 2015, vol.26, n.2, pp.127-133. ISSN 0187-893X.

Smoking, a problem of health considered as a risk factor that predisposes to the development of diseases arising of or associated with chronic consumption of tobacco, including cardiovascular, pulmonary and cancer, is presented here as an educational model proposed in the acquisition of knowledge and skills of students in the seventh module of the degree of the career of Pharmaceutical-Biological Chemist (QFB), UAM-X, in teaching-learning process. Our experience was satisfactory since this model was suitable for review the theoretical contents related to health aspects, socioeconomic and epidemiological as well as pharmacological and toxicological and other equally important such as, regulations and norms derived from the General Law aimed at preventing the use and sale of tobacco. Regarding the practical skills, it succeeded in adapting a technique of chemical analysis, as in this case, the determination of thiocyanate ion, one of the biomarkers used as indicators of the degree of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) of active and passive smokers.
