The rate of smokers in Brazil falls

Research by the National Cancer Institute reveals that Brazilians smoke less today than they did 15 years ago. In 1989, the IBGE estimated the rate of smokers in Brazil at 31.7%. Currently, according to INCA, the rate in 16 capitals varies from 12.9% in Aracaju to 25.2% in Porto Alegre.

But consumption by young people worries the government.

A WHO survey in 12 capitals of the country shows that 11.5% to 35.3% of them are regular smokers.

The Ministry of Health decided to include the treatment of tobacco dependence in the SUS (Unified Health System) primary care.
