Cigarette consumption is a worldwide epidemic and its reduction is one of the major public health concerns. In Brazil, although there is a wide literature on smoking cessation it is restricted to experimental studies. Based on data from the 2013 National Health Survey (PNS), this study uses the survival methodology and use population data and consumer's profile to investigate which characteristics will affect smoking cessation hazard. The results showed that the people who are less likely to quit smoking are older, single men, with low income and fewer education years. They also do not practice physical exercise. The findings of cigarette cessation hazard to Brazilian population are similar of experimental studies with smokers and ex-smokers in country. Therefore, in order to decrease public health spending, Brazilian health policies regarding tobacco cessation could focus on those groups who will likely smoke for a long time.
吸烟是全球性的流行病，减少吸烟是主要的公共卫生关注点之一。在巴西，虽然有大量关于戒烟的文献，但这些文献仅限于实验研究。本研究基于 2013 年全国健康调查（PNS）的数据，使用生存方法和使用人群数据和消费者特征来研究哪些特征会影响戒烟的风险。结果表明，不太可能戒烟的人群是年龄较大、单身男性、收入较低和受教育程度较低的人群。他们也不进行体育锻炼。巴西人口的戒烟风险的研究结果与该国吸烟者和戒烟者的实验研究结果相似。因此，为了减少公共卫生支出，巴西的烟草控制政策可以针对那些可能长期吸烟的人群。
