Abstract:

Smoking is a public health problem associated with high morbidity and mortality. Smoking cessation services, although effective, have limited reach and have been compromised by the pandemic. This study aimed to analyze the care for smokers in João Pessoa - PB, during the COVID-19 pandemic. A descriptive, exploratory, and quantitative study was conducted in two phases: a survey of health indicators and the evaluation of sociodemographic profiles of professionals and service users during the study years. Seven professionals, smoking group coordinators, and 20 users participated in the research. The results showed low program coverage, with a decrease in the number of smokers treated during the pandemic,419 in 2019 to 129 in 2020. Interviews identified positive aspects and limitations of the program, good effectiveness, and low access, especially in primary health care. Strategies to reduce tobacco consumption and its risks during the COVID-19 pandemic originatedservices and professionals involved. It is possible to conclude that in this region, the National Smoking Control Program has an incipient implementation in primary health care and that during the pandemic, the number of services offered was reduced, decreasing demand and actions taken.
