O tabagismo é responsável por 4,9 milhões de óbitos no Brasil e no mundo, a cada ano. Trata-se de um problema de saúde pública cada vez mais grave pelos prejuízos que causa à saúde humana, no que diz respeito às limitações na qualidade de vida, incapacitação para o trabalho, adoecimento e morte. A maioria dos óbitos vem ocorrendo nos países em desenvolvimento. Estratégias para o controle do tabagismo precisam ser intensificadas e qualificadas, em especial junto às populações de baixa renda. Apresenta-se aqui o relato de experiência com grupos do tipo cognitivo-comportamental para o controle do tabagismo, em uma unidade de saúde da periferia da cidade de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. O número ainda pouco expressivo de pessoas que anualmente deixam de fumar nos demonstra o tamanho do desafio a ser enfrentado, sendo, portanto, necessário que mais profissionais se envolvam com a questão, em especial na rede básica de saúde pública.
Smoking is responsible for 4.9 millions of deaths every year, nationwide and worldwide. It is becoming a serious public health problem because of the damages caused to human health as regards its limitations to life quality, the incapacity to work, followed by illness and death. Most deaths occur in developing countries. Tobaccoism control strategies need to be intensified and improved, especially in low income areas. Herein is presented a experience report of tobaccoism control with cognitive behavior groups, at a health care unit in the suburbs of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State. The inexpressive yearly number of people who quit smoking shows the great challenge to be faced. Therefore it is necessary the involvement of more professionals in such issue, mainly in the public health network.
