Objective: to analyze the profile of smokers assisted at a basic health unit and understand the aspects related to adherence to a smokingcessation group. Method: Cross-sectional study with smokers assisted at a Basic Health Unit in Maringá in the State of Paraná. Data collection anddescriptive analysis were performed in August-September 2016. Results: Seventy-two (72) smokers participated in the study. Of these, 51 wereunaware of the National Tobacco Control Program (PNCT) and the proposed cessation groups. The barriers to adherence to the intervention groupsidentified in this study were difficult access (transportation) to the health unit and inability to join the groups due to the smokers’ routine. Forty-two(42) respondents were willing to participate in a group intervention targeted to tobacco control and said that greater access to information andchanges in the approaches used in these interventions were necessary. Conclusion: active search of the individuals in the community and use of adynamic approach in group interventions are needed to meet the real needs of the participants. The variables identified may contribute to increasethe participation of smokers in the program and, hence, smoking cessation rates.
