RESUMO: Objetivou-se identificar fatores associados ao tabagismo em usuários da estratégia saúde da família. Estudo epidemiológico transversal, descritivo e analítico. A amostra por conveniência compreendeu 100 indivíduos usuários de uma Unidade Saúde da Família de um município da região centro sul do Paraná. Houve predomínio das mulheres (n=63; 63%), com média de idade de 49,5 anos, cor branca (n=82; 82%), com ensino fundamental completo (n=21; 21%) e casados (n=49; 49%). O consumo médio diário de cigarro foi de 17,7 cigarros/ dia e 56 (56%) participantes apresentavam grau de dependência muito elevado ou elevado à nicotina. Constatouse associação entre a média de tempo de tabagismo e idade (p=0,001), estado civil viúvo (p=0,035), colesterol elevado (p=0,035), uso de anti-hipertensivo (p=0,031) e grau de dependência a nicotina muito elevada (p=0,008). A identificação dos fatores associados ao tabagismo possibilita à equipe de saúde buscar e planejar estratégias de prevenção, tratamento e acompanhamento dos tabagistas.

FATORES ASSOCIADOS AO TABAGISMO EM USUÁRIOS FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SMOKING AMONG USERS OF THE FAMILY HEALTH STRATEGY ABSTRACT:The aim was to identify factors associated with smoking among users of the Family Health Strategy. A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytic epidemiological study. The sample by convenience encompassed 100 individuals who were users of a Family Health Unit from a city in the center-south region of the Brazilian State of Paraná. There was a predominance of women (n=63; 63%), with a mean age of 49.5 years, Caucasian (n=82; 82%), who had completed junior high school (n=21; 21%) and who were married (n=49; 49%). Mean daily cigarette consumption was 17.7 cigarettes/day and 56 (56%) participants had a very high or high degree of dependence on nicotine. An association was observed between mean smoking duration and age (p=0.001), marital status -widowed (p=0.035), high cholesterol (p=0.035), use of antihypertensives (p=0.031) and very high degree of dependence on nicotine (p=0.008). The identification of the factors associated with smoking makes it possible for the health team to seek and plan prevention strategies, treatment and monitoring of smokers.
