RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Smoking continues to be one of the most important health burdens worldwide. AIM: To describe smoking habits and associated risk factors in the population of Santiago, Chile. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross sectional study of a representative sample of the population, from 16 to 64 years old, residents of Santiago, Chile (total population: 3,237,286). A structured interview that included questions about use of tobacco, the CIS-R interviews, used for common mental disorders, were applied. RESULTS: From the sample of 4,693 households, 3,870 people were interviewed (52.2 per cent women, 47.8 men) and 10 per cent refused. Forty percent of per cent the population currently smoked (52.5 per cent men, 47.8 per cent women). Being a current smoker was associated with being younger than 55, male sex, and having a common mental disorder. DISCUSSION: Smoking is highly prevalent in Chile, as compared with developed countries and with some developing countries. Gender differences in use of tobacco have decreased. A higher risk of smoking for people with mental disorders is confirmed.
