This study sought to evaluate the performance of the Tobacco Cessation Program in a Primary Health Care Unit. A retrospective case-control cohort research was carried out with 170 smokers enrolled in the Municipal Tobacco Control Program at the Candeal Pequeno Primary Health Care Unit, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, from February 2015 to June 2017. Data was analyzed using binary logistic regression. The cumulative incidence rate for cessation after 12 weeks (57.1%) and the dropout rate (26.4%) were not significantly associated to age, gender, nicotine dependence, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. After four weeks in the program, not using bupropion was associated with smoking cessation (P<0.007). In 29 months, the Program reached 60.3% of the eligible target public. The Program showed satisfactory rates of tobacco use cessation and coverage, considering the period studied and the eligible population. Well-designed, nationwide studies are needed to better evaluate the effectiveness of the National Tobacco Cessation Program in primary health care.
