Abstract

The pharmacy students'understanding about tobacco addiction in the University of

Granada (Spain) through an anonymous, voluntary and selfanswer questionnaire has been

evaluated.

1350 questionnaires were distributed and 480 were answered. This is the 35.5% of

the sanple. The 42.5% of students think the tar is the most toxic component of the smoke

tobacco. The illness which they related most closely to tabacco addiction was lung cáncer

(97.9%). The risk increment in complications during pregnancy in the are agree in the

bigest percentage (74.5%). The 15.4% related the slogan "Tobacco or health, decide"

with the WHO. The 62.7% of students recognize the sanitary professionals have an

important influence in the people addiction.

It would be neccesary to increment the students'understanding about specific areas,

with so much sanitary repercussion like the tobacco addiction.
