Abstract

The present article reports the experience, as a nursing undergraduate, of taking part in a Program of Smoking Preventionand Combat of the Municipal department of Health in the Municipal Health Center of Redentora/Brazil during the month of July/2006.Therefore, I underscore the importance as an undergraduate, to take part in this project, which was created to assist, to guide, to treat,to recover, to promote health and to prevent illness, approaching the consequences that tobacco brings to smokers’ lives and peoplearound them. The results showed to be meaningful as some people gave up the habit, others diminished the daily consumed amount, butthe most important was to evidence that all of them continue the treatment with the peer group and the health team.
