Resumo: | The article aims to analyze the possibility of civilly holding tobacco companies liable for the damage caused to the health of consumers, considering that the cigarette, being a product highly harmful to human health, violates the right to health provided for in the list of social rights of the Federal Constitution. Thus, research on the right to health will be carried out, verifying the protection of smoking, dealing with social rights and fundamental rights, in addition to addressing the smoking history. The civil liability institute provided for in the Civil Code and the Consumer Protection Code will also be analyzed. The work also aims to determine whether it is possible or not to hold tobacco companies civilly responsible for the damage caused to the health of the smoker, presenting the defense theses used by the tobacco companies to avoid the duty to repair. Mostly the decisions that move the Judiciary by smoking consumers, who seek to repair a damage caused by smoking, are unfounded. However, there are Courts that have been supporting the consumer. In the present work, the decision handed down by the Court of Justice of Rio Grande do Sul - Civil Appeal nº 70059502898, issued on 12/18/2018, which sentenced a tobacco industry to the payment of indemnity, will be used. Therefore, it is essential to analyze the theme, seeking a condition of dignity to the smoker, and the chance of reparation for the violation of the fundamental right to health is recognized. Keywords: Health. Smoking. Civil responsibility. |

Keywords: Health. Smoking. Civil responsibility.O artigo tem por objetivo analisar a possibilidade de responsabilizar civilmente as empresas fumageiras pelos danos causados à saúde dos consumidores, tendo em vista que o cigarro, por ser um produto altamente nocivo à saúde humana, viola o direito à saúde previsto no rol de direitos sociais da Constituição Federal. Assim, será realizada uma pesquisa acerca do direito à saúde, verificando a proteção ao tabagismo, tratando sobre os direitos sociais e direitos fundamentais, além de abordar o histórico do tabagismo. Também será analisado o instituto da responsabilidade civil prevista no Código Civil e Código de Defesa do Consumidor. O trabalho também visa determinar se é possível ou não responsabilizar civilmente as empresas fumageiras pelos danos causados na saúde da pessoa fumante, apresentando as teses de defesa utilizadas pelas fumageiras para se eximir do dever de reparar. De forma majoritária as decisões que movem o Judiciário por consumidores fumantes, que buscam a reparação de um dano causado pelo hábito de fumar, são improcedentes. No entanto, há Tribunais que vêm amparando o consumidor. No presente trabalho, utilizara-se- á a decisão proferida pelo Tribunal de Justiça do Rio Grande do Sul – Apelação Cível nº 70059502898, proferida em 18/12/2018, a qual condenou uma indústria fumagista ao pagamento de indenização. Portanto, é imprescindível a análise do tema, buscando uma condição de dignidade ao fumante, sendo reconhecida a chance da reparação pela violação do direito fundamental à saúde.
