Revista Médica de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, v. 25, n. 1, p. 140-142, jan./mar. 2015.e- 2238-31820103-880Xhttp://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/17237In Brazil, diseases caused by smoking account for 47.6% of total deaths, especially dis- eases of the circulatory system (31.3% of deaths) and neoplasias (16.3%). Currently, an epidemiological transition characterized by three basic changes is observed: the replace- ment of transmissible diseases by non-transmissible diseases, the offset of morbidity and mortality from younger to elderly groups, and the transition from the situation in which mortality predominates to that in which morbidity dominates. The current prevalence of smoking in Brazil decreased from 12.1% (2012) to 11.3% (2013); with a reduction in both genders, from 9.2% to 8.6% among women and 15.5% to 14.4% among men. The per- centage values of the prevalence of smoking were mostly low among Brazilian capitals and the Federal District.porAcesso AbertoPoluição por fumaça de tabacoHábito de fumarAbandono do uso de tabacoPrograma Nacional de Controle do TabagismoTabacco smoke pollutionSmokingTabacco use cessationNational Program of Tobacco ControlArtigo
