Abstract

Smoking is an endemic chronic disease that is closely related to many health disorders, such as hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, peripheral vascular disease, thromboembolic events and airway and digestive tract cancers. It causes a reduction in expectation and quality of life of users; furthermore, it generates financial costs to them and governments. It causes physical, psychological and behavioral dependence, due to nicotine. This paper proposes an action plan, developed after conducting a situational diagnosis through the method of Flash Estimate, following the Situational Strategic Planning method to aid in smoking cessation in interested patients, in addition to actions to contribute to the prevention of this habit in non smokers, especially in children and adolescents. For the theoretical basis of the project, a literature review from query data and scientific publications of Scientific Electronic Library On-Line (SciELO) and Pubmed was made, as well as research in Ministério da Saúde, INCA and WHO sites. Facing this problem is focused on cognitive behavioral therapy of operational groups, with the help of a multidisciplinary team and drug therapy, as well as social and educational activities for the general population. Control and prevention of smoking actions are important because of the high cost of morbidity and mortality that this habit generates for the countries. The evaluation of nicotine dependence degree is necessary for indication of pharmacological treatment target. Operating groups and educational activities are tools that can assist in the control and prevention of smoking in a population.
