THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction

Smoking tobacco has become a usual thing in our culture nowadays. A person with a

cigarette is a usual thing, it has become a routine thing for us. Like most people, you already

know that smoking is bad for your health. But do you really understand how dangerous smoking

really is? Tobacco contains nicotine, a highly addictive drug that makes it difficult for smokers to

kick the habit. Tobacco products also contain many poisonous and harmful substances that cause

disease and premature death. Most people don't know the odds of getting sick as a result of

smoking are really that bad, but when you do the numbers, that is how they come out. For many

people, truly understanding the very real dangers associated with smoking becomes the

motivating factor that helps them to quit. Although it can be a very difficult habit to break,

smoking is ultimately a choice; it is a responsibility to choose not continuing to smoke. The

number of people who die from using tobacco is greater than the combined total number of

people who die from murder, suicide, car accidents, fire, AIDS, and using alcohol, cocaine, and

heroin. Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer of both men and women, and smoking is

associated with nearly 90 percent of lung cancer cases. In addition, smoking is a leading cause of

cancers of the mouth, tongue, throat, larynx (voice box), esophagus, stomach, pancreas, cervix,

kidney, ureter, and bladder.

Cancer is not the only disease caused by smoking. Smoking also causes chronic

bronchitis and emphysema, and worsens asthma. Cigarette smoking substantially increases the
 Perpetual Help College of Pangasinan JONELTA
Basic Education Department Senior High School

risk of coronary heart disease, including stroke, heart attack, aneurysm and vascular

disease. It also contributes to peptic ulcers, varicose veins, osteoporosis, periodontal disease,

Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, allergies, and impotence. The bottom

line is that continuing to smoke puts you at risk of contracting a serious, life-threatening illness.

If you contract any one of the diseases listed above, your quality of life will deteriorate and you

will shorten your life span. Secondhand Smoke Smoking is dangerous, not only for the

person holding the cigarette, but also for the people who share their environment.

Secondhand smokes is caused by smokers and inhaled by people nearby. Secondhand smoke

contributes to 3,000 lung cancer deaths in nonsmokers and as many as 40,000 deaths from

cardiovascular disease each year. Secondhand smoke is dangerous for anyone who comes into

contact with it, but it is especially dangerous for unborn babies and small children. Smoking

during pregnancy increases the risk of infant mortality, premature delivery, and babies with low

birth weight. Tobacco smoke contains high levels of nicotine and carbon monoxide, which

interfere with the oxygen supply to the fetus, and cause the developmental delays often seen in

the fetuses and infants of mothers who smoke. Smoking around infants and children has also

been linked to sudden death syndrome and to a rise in respiratory illnesses, including an

increased risk of developing asthma and an increase in the symptoms of asthma in children who

already have the disease.

In order to quit smoking individuals should prepare themselves or the move. A person

should be ready to face tough situations or relapse; a person also prohibited others from smoking

in ones home. It is advisable to asses past efforts in giving up smoking and take into

consideration what worked and what did not.

Statement of the Problem

The research study determined the Incidence of Senior High School Male Smokers in

Perpetual Help College of Pangasinan S.Y. 2017-2018.

1. Have they ever tried to smoke inside the campus?

2. What are the reasons behind why do they smoke?
3. Have they ever tried to escape class to smoke?
4. Have they ever been caught while smoking?
5. What kind of cigarette they use/smoke?

Statement of Hypothesis

Our Hypothesis of this study is the Incedence of Males Smokers has bad side effects to

the student of PHCP. Our main goal are to answer the questions we have prepared by using

surveys or by the other means, study only covers the Grade 12.

Scope and Delimitation

The subject of this study are the male senior high school students in Perpetual Help College

of Pangasinan who have experienced smoking, the scope of this study includes concerns, issues

and other factors. The study is only limited to the problem itself, means we only conducted this

research to those who smokes in the Senior High School Department.

Significance of the Study

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of attitudes towards and

knowledge about cigarette smoking among senior high school male students with different levels

of academic ability. The deleterious effects of smoking inclined toward disease of the respiratory

system. The detrimental effects of smoking on 10 selected disease differed according to

academic ability levels. They also thought that environmental tobacco smoke exposure was

harmful to non-smokers health. Although they fully understood the harmful effect of smoking,

the percentage of current smokers is still relevant. To reduce the number of adult smokers, it is

important not only to prevent students from starting to smoke or to encourage smokers to quit but

also to guide undecided smoker in how to quit.

The Related and Literature Studies

These chapters present related literature and studies that enhanced the richness of

the content of the study. Furthermore, these related literatures give strong support of the finding

of this research.

Review of Related Literature

Does it matter if the male partner smoker when trying to get pregnant? Yes, it does. And

in ways you may not have considered You already know that smoking is bad for your health,

and you have likely guessed that smoking is bad for female fertility. IN both men and women,

smoking has been linked to an increased risk for many cancers, heart disease, emphysema, and a

number of other health problems. The toxin in cigarettes takes their toll not only on the lungs but

also on the health of your entire body. This includes your reproductive system.

In April of 2016, European Urology published a meta-analysis on the effect of smoking

on semen health. The analysis included 20 studies and just over 5,000 men across Europe. The

study found that smoking was associated sperm count, decreased sperm motility (thats how

sperm swim), and poor sperm morphology (how sperm are shaped). Most notably, the negative

effects smoking had on sperm health was stronger in infertile men and in moderate to heavy

smokers, compared to light smoker. But thats not the only way smoking may fertility. Male

smoking is also, secondhand smoke can harm her fertility as well. When he smokes, it not only

decreases his sperm health. It also decreases her fertility. Because of the largest number of men
 Perpetual Help College of Pangasinan JONELTA
Basic Education Department Senior High School

worldwide who smoke and the fact that cigarette smoke contains knows mutagens and

carcinogen, there has been concern that smoking may have adverse effect mutagens and

Carcinogens, there has been that smoking may have adverse effect on male and reproductive.

A review of the epidemiological literature indicates that cigarette smoking is associated

with modest reductions in semen quality including sperm concentration, motility and

morphology. The association in semen quality including sperm concentration, and motility are

stronger among studies of healthy men (e.g. volunteers and sperm donors) than among men

from infertility clinic populations. Smoking has also been associated with alterations in hormone

levels in males, for example increases in the levels of outshone and estradiol. Despite reductions

in semen quality and altered hormone levels among smoker compared to non-smokers, studies

have not shown a reduction in male fertility in association with paternal smoking. It is concluded

that, although smokers as a group may not experience reduced fertility, men with marginal semen

quality who wish to have children may benefit from quitting smoking, since several small studies

indicate the potential for improved semen quality after quitting smoking. More research on the

benefits of quitting smoking among men with marginal semen quality is needed. Methodological

improvements in studies aimed at clarifying the association between paternal smoking and

reproductive and developmental outcomes in offspring should include obtaining accurate

paternal smoking dose information, evaluating smoking exposure information in relation to

various time windows (e.g. prior to conception, during gestation), and controlling for potential

confounders and modifying factors such as age and maternal smoking habits. More sensitive and

specific laboratory assays and increased sample sizes are required to establish whether smoking

induces mutations in human spermatozoa.

Household smoking bans are recommended to decrease the visibility of cigarette smoking

, and also to initiate of nonsmoking social patterns and parental attitudes towards the sector of

Youth, this may serve as mediators to reduce smoking initiation. Related social norms such as

perceived smoking prevalence (and the perceived social acceptability of smoking have been

shown to be strong predictors of adolescent smoking or smoking initiation. Furthermore recent

studies also show that peer and parental smoking as parental antismoking patterns and

disapproval of smoking are directly. With those studies being present as an additional guide to

this study this paper aims to assess the relationship of household smoking bans on adolescent

perceived prevalence of adult and youth smoking, as well as their perception of adult disapproval

of adult and youth smoking. There are many reasons why young adults and teenagers begin

smoking. Most notably may be the relationship between peers and the development of mutual

habits. This is to say, many times an action or activity practiced by an individuals friends or

social group will then be assimilated and increased risk that the individual will begin the habit of

smoking as well. Social factors also include marketing attraction by tobacco companies. This

attraction entices teens young adults. These marketing efforts are to ensure that for every smoker

who dies, a new smoker is born. Most people who smoke do so around the age of 18. Social

factors may also be subsets of peer pressure, such as the seemingly attractive nature of

celebrities- musicians, actors, and professional athletes- who smoke.

There are also factors like general stress, related to school, stress related to relationship,

family troubles ,etc., that may lead to smoking. Many are under the mistaken impression that

cigarettes eliminate stress. This makes you feel less stress however; according to the Cleveland
 Perpetual Help College of Pangasinan JONELTA
Basic Education Department Senior High School

Clinic your body is really increased stress. Your blood pressure and heart rate greatly

increase, yours muscle tense, your blood vessel begin to constrict, and oxygen becomes stress

available to

Your brain and to your body (cells, organs, skin, etc.). The dopamine merely provides a false

feeling of stress relief, while the smoke creates more stress and a feeling of the continued need to

smoke.

Review of Related Studies

Some persistent behavior on the part of an individual conflict with his knowledge that the

behavior is inappropriate or even dangerous, a state of cognitive dissonance is created (Feininger,

1957). One way of reducing the dissonance is to change the behavior itself. But the change may

be difficult, or painful, or it may require a stronger effort than one is willing to exert. If the

behavior cannot be changed, then perhaps the perception of the behavior can be altered in a way

that reduces the dissonance. One way of assessing how people perceive some particular aspect

of their behavior is to ask them to assign themselves to one of a set of pre-established categories

along some dimension of that behavior. In this study we investigated the smokers'

self-\categorization as related to their daily consumption of cigarettes. The data for this

investigatory are part of a survey that we carried out dealing with the smokers' avoidance of

information which tends to increase their cognitive dissonance (Taglicozzo, 1978). In the returns

of a questionnaire according to amount smoked and to self-categorization is shown in Table 1.

 Perpetual Help College of Pangasinan JONELTA
Basic Education Department Senior High School

Not included in the table are two respondents who checked the space in between "light"

and "moderate" The table shows that a very high percentage of the respondents who smoked 10

cigarettes or less (86.4%) considered themselves "light" smokers, and a similarly high percentage

of those smoking between half and one pack (84.8%) called themselves "moderate" smokers. But

only 40% of the respondents who smoked between one and two packs per day assigned

themselves to the category of "heavy" smokers, while 60% classified themselves as "moderate".

Since no explicit norms are to be found, either in the scientific literature or in the information

disseminated by health agencies and clinical organizations, defining the parameters of heavy,

moderate, and light smoking, any dividing line between the categories is to some extent arbitrary.

Nevertheless, if one wants to study smoking behavior, subjects must be grouped.

Studies on male smoking have shown a decrease in the quality of semen. But how much of an

effect are we talking about? And what do these semen health parameters mean? Heres a closer

look: Sperm concentration: refers to the number of sperm found in a measured quantity of

semen. Studies have shown a 23% decrease in sperm concentration in men who smoke. Sperm

motility refers to the swimming capabilities of the sperm. If sperm cannot swim properly, they

may have trouble reaching the egg and fertilizing it. In men who smoke researcher found a 13%

decrease in sperm motility. Sperm morphology refers to the shape of sperm. Oddly shaped sperm

may not swim well enough to get to the egg and may not be able to fertilize an egg. Male

smokers have fewer healthy shaped sperm than non-smoker. Sperm DNA: Some studies have

found that the sperm of smokers has increased DNA fragmentation. DNA damage sperm may
 Perpetual Help College of Pangasinan JONELTA

lead to problem with fertilization, embryo development, embryo implantation, and

increased miscarriage rates. Male smokers may also have abnormal hormone levels, which can

affect fertility.

Synthesis of the Study

Tobacco addiction is a global public health problem. Addiction to tobacco is thought to

involve the effects of nicotine on the dopaminergic system. Only one study has previously

investigated dopamine synthesis capacity in cigarette smokers. This study, exclusively in male

volunteers, reported increased dopamine synthesis capacity in heavy smokers compared with

non-smokers. We sought to determine whether dopamine synthesis capacity was elevated in a

larger sample of cigarette smokers that included females. Dopamine synthesis capacity was

measured in 15 daily moderate smokers with 15 sex- and age-matched control subjects who had

never smoked tobacco. Dopamine synthesis capacity (indexed as the influx rate constant K(i)

(cer)) was measured with positron emission tomography and 3,4-dihydroxy-6-[(18)F]-fluoro-l-

phenylalanine. There was no significant group difference in dopamine synthesis capacity

between smokers and non-smoker controls in the whole striatum (t28=0.64, p=0.53) or any of its

functional subdivisions. In smokers, there were no significant relationships between the number

of cigarettes smoked per day and dopamine synthesis capacity in the whole striatum (r=-0.23,

p=0.41) or any striatal subdivision. These findings indicate that moderate smoking is not

associated with altered striatal dopamine synthesis capacity.

Conceptual Framework

The study focuses on Anti-Smoking advertisements and how exposure and recall of these

advertisements affect the NCR male high school students knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes

toward smoking. Exposure and recall of anti-smoking advertisements are the main entities that

this study will concentrate on. The availability heuristic principle focuses on the ease of recall of

student to anti-smoking messages and their sources while the mere exposure theory in this study

dwells into the students exposure to anti-smoking messages. Using the HBM Model, the cues to

action are the male high school students sources of information about anti-smoking. Their

exposure to anti-smoking messages will affect their ability to recall what these messages are and

where they come from. Their ability to recall is defined to be the availability heuristics or the

information readily available in the mind. The study focuses on the top-of-the mind memory of

the students or which information they can easily recall. Modifying factors such as age, sex,

personality, socio-economic and knowledge affect the perception on susceptibility and severity

of smoking-related diseases and the perception of benefits against the barriers .The perceived

susceptibility and severity of having smoking-related diseases influence the perception on the

threat of these smoking related diseases. It, therefore, affects the likelihood of action which is not

smoking. Figure 3 shows the integrated conceptual model of this study which demonstrates the

relationships discussed in this conceptual framework.

The theoretical deployed in smoking cessation is social learning theory, which draws on

the assumption that smoking is a behaviour that is learned; therefore; it can be unlearned. Social
 Perpetual Help College of Pangasinan JONELTA
Basic Education Department Senior High School

learning theory has become an undoubtedly become an influential theory with regard to

learning and development. In particular, this study utilizes the social learning theory suggested

by Alan bandura (1972). According to Bandura (1977), direct reinforcement does not take into

account all forms of learning. His theory of learning incorporated a social element which draws

on the assumption people usually learn behaviours through watching other people. Referred to as

observational learning, this form of learning is usually deployed in studying various behaviours.

Social learning theory concedes that, birds of the same feather flock together;

therefore, they influence one anothers behaviour in both deviant and conforming

behaviours. As a result cognitive-behavioural measures can be deployed effectively in smoking

cessation as a process whereby an individual breaks all situational and emotional ties associated

with smoking behaviours. To stop smoking, the quitting smoker must have an understanding of

the addiction process and the conditioned responses associated with smoking when tackling

symptoms of withdrawal and craving. Core elements of social learning theory in smoking

cessation entail motivational interviewing (MI) and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). Under

MI, the health worker can assist quitting smokers to resolve ambivalence and empower them to

choose change. Under CBT, health workers can assist quitting smokers to undertake new, alter

thought, which can be helpful in implementing a solid quitting and relapse prevention plan.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the description of the research design selection and description of
respondents research instruments data collection procedure and statistical treatments use.

Research Design

Cigarette smoking, one of the main causes of preventable morbidity and mortality, has a

multitude of well-known side effects. The relationship between cigarette smoking and infertility

has been studied for decades, however, large scale, population wide prospective studies are

lacking. The majority of the current literature is in the form of retrospective studies focused on

the effects of smoking on semen analyses. This article discusses the result of this studies and

reviews the postulated mechanism. The effects of smoking on assisted reproduction and in vitro

fertilization outcomes are noted. The consequences of smoking while pregnant on future fertility

as well as the outcomes of second hand smoke are analyzed. The current evidence suggest that

men should be advised to abstain from smoking in order to improve reproductive outcomes.

Primary sources

This research focuses on giving all senior high school students questionnaires which is the

commonly used method in surveys questionnaires are list of questions open minded or close

ended which the respondents give answers.

Secondary sources

Technology is a big help this day for researcher general website that has specific details about

our subject that helps us make a good research.

Participants of the Study

Participants of the Study the participants of the study will consist of 100 Senior high

school students who have experienced the major problem in PHCP. The 100 participants who

will choose they are the one who will give and complete of doing research for one on one

interview.

Data Gathering Instrument

In this study we can confirm that our research is true and proven because of its realistic

facts and experience by the smoker himself. Every details and statements in this chapter is

verified and not bias. The researchers conduct a survey test, and determine the students of

Perpetual Help College of Pangasinan who smoke cigarettes. And also, the researcher looked for

necessary resources that could help them in their study. They did an ntensive reading from

internet and asked opinion to the smoker. We make sure that every details and everything

they said is true and facts by their own experiences in smoking cigarette.

Validation of the Instrumentation

In our research, the qustionnaire is our main instrument to determine the

impacts of Incedence of Senior High School Male Smokers in Perpetual Help

College of Pangasinan. The questionnaire was prepared by the researchers

themselves after doing a research. The researchers constructed a letter to the main

chairman and allowed the researchers to conduct the survey among the students in

Perpertual Help College of Pangasinan. The researcher questionnaire was prepared

and showed to the adviser for the suggestions. After that, revision of the

questionnaire was done. The researchers incorporated the comments and

suggestion of the adviser and prepared for the second questionnaire.

Data Gathering Procedure

After the validation of research instrument, the researcher will follow the data gathering

procedure advised by Creswell (2007). First, the researcher will select the participants in

Perpetual help College of Pangasinan Senior High School with help of 100 students. After

gaining access and establishing rapport with the students the interview will be set, then the actual

one on one interviews will be conducted.

Final Summarization

Smoking tobacco has become a usual thing in our culture nowadays. A person with a

cigarette is a usual thing, it has become a routine thing for us. Like most people, you already

know that smoking is bad for your health. But do you really understand how dangerous smoking

really is? Tobacco contains nicotine, a highly addictive drug that makes it difficult for smokers to

kick the habit. Tobacco products also contain many poisonous and harmful substances that cause

disease and premature death. Most people don't know the odds of getting sick as a result of

smoking are really that bad, but when you do the numbers, that is how they come out.Cancer is

not the only disease caused by smoking. Smoking also causes chronic bronchitis and

emphysema, and worsens asthma. Cigarette smoking substantially increases the risk of coronary

heart disease, including stroke, heart attack, aneurysm and vascular disease. It also

contributes to peptic ulcers, varicose veins, osteoporosis, periodontal disease,

Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, allergies, and impotence. The bottom

line is that continuing to smoke puts you at risk of contracting a serious, life-threatening illness.

If you contract any one of the diseases listed above, your quality of life will deteriorate

and you will shorten your life span.

Second hand Smoke Smoking is dangerous, not only for the person holding the cigarette,

but also for the people who share their environment. Second hand smokes is caused by smokers

and inhaled by people nearby. Second hand smoke contributes to 3,000 lung cancer deaths in

non- smokers and as many as 40,000 deaths

from cardiovascular disease each year. Second hand smoke is dangerous for anyone who

comes into contact with it, but it is especially dangerous for unborn babies and small children.

Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of infant mortality, premature delivery, and babies

with low birth weight. Tobacco smoke contains high levels of nicotine and carbon monoxide,

which interfere with the oxygen supply to the fetus, and cause the developmental delays often

seen in the fetuses and infants of mothers who smoke. Smoking around infants and children has

also been linked to sudden death syndrome and to a rise in respiratory illnesses, including an

increased risk of developing asthma and an increase in the symptoms of asthma in children who

already have the disease.

A review of the epidemiological literature indicates that cigarette smoking is associated

With modest reductions in semen quality including sperm concentration, motility and

morphology. The association in semen quality including sperm concentration, and motility are

stronger among studies of healthy men (e.g. volunteers and sperm donors) than among men

from infertility clinic populations. In order to quit smoking individuals should prepare

themselves or the move. A person should be ready to face tough situations or relapse; a

person also prohibited others from smoking in ones home. It is advisable to asses past efforts in

giving up smoking and take into consideration what worked and what did not.
