Abstract
Smoking persists as an important public health problem. Brazil is considered an international reference, with tobacco control actions implemented four decades ago. This study seeks to carry out an assessment of the National Tobacco Control Policy from 2016 to 2022 through a predominantly qualitative nature with contributions from political economy and public policy analysis. During this period, Brazil maintained the bases of the Policy and its international recognition. However, the weakening of its governmental coordination was observed due to an unfavorable political context that was markedly neoliberal. To face adversities, the institutionality of the Policy and the resistance of governmental and non-governmental actors committed to tobacco control in the country should be highlighted. Strengthening tobacco control policies is essential to protect the population's health and promote a healthier lifestyle.
