ABSTRACT:
Smoking is an important public health issue due to its association with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, as well as cancer. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of smokers and former smokers in Brazil between 2006 and 2012 in order to better understand the dynamics of tobacco consumption over the years. This was a quantitative study based on secondary data obtained from DATASUS, organized using Tabwin/Tabnet and tabulated in Excel spreadsheets. The results showed a progressive reduction in the prevalence of smokers among both men and women, while the number of former smokers remained relatively stable during the analyzed period. These findings may be associated with anti-smoking actions developed in Brazil, including educational campaigns, advertising restrictions, and smoking cessation programs. It is concluded that tobacco control strategies contributed to reducing tobacco consumption; however, more effective measures are still needed to prevent relapse among former smokers.
