Resumo:This article presents the results of a study, which aimed to compile information on tobacco consumption in a national sample of 4645 subjects within 12 thru 70 years of age. Specific questions were designed to explore the level of exposition to nicotine, as much in active smokers as in passive ones. This survey used the technique of house-hold interview and was part of a broader effort leading to know the prevalence and the incidence of consumption of other drugs. The determination of levels of consumption in the informants and their relatives was based on frequency criteria, amount and patterns of use. Outcomes suggested that situation at the local level is complex for its consequences on public health.
