“…Knowledge of the teachers studied in respect to the association between abusive alcohol consumption and poor eating habits with lung cancer was also low (9.4% and 14.7% respectively), values lower than those found in a population study performed in the south of Rio Grande do Sul in which approximately 31.0% of those interviewed responded correctly regarding the existence of the association between abusive alcohol consumption and lung cancer and 24.0% regarding the association of this disease with poor eating habits 5 . Although the knowledge is low in the two samples studied, the teachers proved to have less knowledge than the population in general in regard to such conclusion; nevertheless, this lack of knowledge may be related to broad disclosure of smoking as the main cause of lung cancer, with the other risk factors often without disclosure, which may lead to a general lack of knowledge in their respect 12 .…”

“…Prevention programs include the need for increasing awareness of students regarding how to adopt and sustain healthy lifestyles, because knowledge regarding health is a factor that may contribute to behavioral change in a population as the greater the knowledge, the greater the chances of adopting habits that may be favorable to the quality of life of a determined population group 4. It is worth highlighting, however, that knowledge in itself is fundamental for quality of life, but it is not enough result in behavioral changes. Nevertheless, it is a primordial factor in assisting the possibility for change 2,5 . This knowledge should be passed on by all professional working in the health field 6,7 and, in the school environment, by teachers connected with the area, among whom are physical education teachers.…”

“…Das intervenções que aumentaram o conhecimento dos escolares sobre um estilo de vida saudável 10,19,21 , em duas 10,21 os alunos melhoraram seu estilo de vida, adquirindo mais hábitos saudáveis. Essa é uma temática controversa, visto que há resultados indicando que o aumento do conhecimento independe de modificações comportamentais 22,23 e, em contrapartida, há evidências indicando que essa relação é verdadeira 10,21 .…”

“…O tabagismo é considerado a principal causa de morte evitável no mundo, matando cerca de 6 milhões de pessoas ao ano (1) , estando relacionada com vários problemas de saúde, com destaque para doenças respiratórias e cardiovasculares e câncer, o que torna os tabagistas mais propensos a morrerem prematuramente em comparação aos não fumantes ou ex-fumantes (2) . No Brasil, calcula-se o número de 200 mil mortes anuais e estima-se que, se esse ritmo de expansão se mantiver, em 2030, poderá chegar a 10 milhões de mortes por ano em todo o mundo, sendo que cerca de 70% destas ocorrerão em países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil (3,4) .…”
