Abstract:

The article presents a review of Brazilian tobacco control policy1986 to 2016, based on contributionsthe political economy and public policy analysis. The institutionalization of tobacco control in the country was marked by more general changes in health policy and by specific events related to the theme. The Brazilian leadership in the international scene, the solid structuring of the National Tobacco Control Policy and the role of civil society and the media contributed to the success of tobacco control in Brazil. However, challenges remain regarding diversification of production in planted areas of tobacco, illicit trade, interferencethe tobacco industry and the sustainability of the Policy. The study reinforces the importance of considering, in the analysis of complex health policies, the relations between international and national context and the articulation between different sectors and governmental and non-governmental actors. The continuity and consolidation of the tobacco control policy depend on the persistence of a broad institutional framework that guides the State\'s action in social protection, in accordance with Unified Health System guidelines.
