OLIVEIRA, Patrícia Pereira Vasconcelos de et al. Indicators related to smoking cessation in Brazil, National Health Survey, 2013 and 2019 editions. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.esp1, e2021388.  Epub June 22, 2022. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/ss2237-9622202200005.especial.

Objective:

To describe the indicators of smoking cessation in 2013 and 2019 for Brazil and federative units, according to sociodemographic variables, collected in the National Health Survey (PNS).

Methods:

Cross-sectional, population-based and descriptive study with data from the 2013 and 2019 PNS, a household survey collected by trained interviewers. The prevalence of ex-smokers and the proportion of smokers who tried to quit smoking in the 12 months prior to the interview, and respective confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated, according to sociodemographic variables. Additionally, the percentage variation between the years was calculated.

Results:

In 2013, the prevalence of ex-smokers was 17.5% (95%CI 16.9;18.0) and, in 2019, 26.6% (95%CI 26.1;27.2). In 2013, 51.1% tried to quit smoking (95%CI 49.3;52.9) and, in 2019, 46.6% (95%CI 45.0;48.3).

Conclusion:

It is important to strengthen and maintain strategies for coping with tobacco use in Brazil, to increase the current smoker's willingness and ability to quit smoking.
