The aim of this study was to understand the meanings produced about smoking by women participating in a group for smokers in Florianopolis, SC, Brazil. Seven participants took part in structured interviews with five open questions. The theoretical framework was social constructionism with two themes: 1) Cigarettes in the women's life cycle 2) Expectations regarding treatment. The repertories used to describe the beginning of consumption in adolescence included glamour, charm, independence and peer acceptance and those used to describe the maintenance of consumption in adulthood included anxiety, depression and coping with daily stress. Regarding expectations for treatment they believed that contact with people who experience the same difficulties in relation to the cessation of consumption and the dream of a healthy life would be motivating. The treatment offered to smokers should explore strategies for women to achieve what they want regarding the consumption of cigarettes.
本研究的目的是了解参与巴西圣卡塔琳娜州弗洛里亚诺波利斯一个吸烟者群体的女性对吸烟所赋予的意义。七名参与者接受了包含五个开放性问题的结构化访谈。理论框架为社会建构主义，有两个主题：1）香烟在女性生命周期中的作用 2）对治疗的期望。用于描述青少年期开始吸烟的表述包括魅力、吸引力、独立和同伴认可，而用于描述成年期持续吸烟的表述包括焦虑、抑郁和应对日常压力。关于对治疗的期望，她们认为与在戒烟方面有相同困难的人接触以及对健康生活的向往会起到激励作用。为吸烟者提供的治疗应探索策略，帮助女性在吸烟问题上实现她们的愿望。
