Abstract

In the Lagoa Grande’s city in Minas Gerais, the Family Health Strategy works as a primary health care center providing care for acute and chronic conditions, prevention and health promotion events, as well as support for rehabilitation. The objective of this work was to reduce the rate of tobacco consumption, through primary care, thus contributing to a better quality of life and health for patients currently dependent on the substance. The tobacco epidemic is one of the greatest threats to public health that the world has ever faced, accounting for the deaths of more than eight million people each year. By personalizing the treatment and seeking to meet individual needs, a better result can be obtained, but it is important not to underestimate the effectiveness of support groups, where shared experiences and continuing education contribute to the process of tobacco withdrawal. Through the demographic and epidemiological evaluation of the enrolled population, strategic situational planning was carried out, which identified as critical nodes the support and support to the process of attempts to stop smoking inappropriately, and the level of information of the team and population insufficient. Therefore, due to the familiarity with the health service, the bonds formed with the family health team, it is possible to provide the smoker patient with a welcome and initial and longitudinal assistance, which is very important in the process of smoking withdrawal.
