Abstract:

The survey examined the status of implementation of policies for tobacco control in medium-sized municipality through the verification of the actions recommended by the National Program of Tobacco Control (NPTC) developed in primary health care units. We interviewed the coordinator of the local NPTC and professionals from 44 primary health care units of Juiz de Fora/MG, between May and July 2011. It was observed that the actions of treatment and health promotion have been executed, and highlighted the training of professionals to implement the treatment in primary health care units. In 40.9% of these, there is the provision of treatment for smokers, and 88.6%, the shares are concentrated in activities waiting rooms, groups and individual consultations. Limitations identified, probably not restricted to the municipality under study, such as inadequate structuring of units, high turnover, the varying degree of involvement of professionals in implementing the service and also the lack of mechanisms to enable them to implement and continue to care among the other responsibilities they have. The big challenge for strengthening tobacco control is to perform the inter-sectoral actions and in primary health care. The results presented can serve as recommendations for the formulation of strategic actions of health in other parts of the country.
