We reviewed clinical features, smoking status, previous admissions, comorbidities, other variables and smoking status after medical discharge. We confirmed smoking habit using co-oximetry.Results: 70% are male. Age is 58 with an average of 42 pack-year smoking history. 49,77% are first-time admitted with dyspnea and 23,07% with dyspnea grade ImMRC.53,39% have no expectoration. 33,03% are healthy individuals,in contrast 76,97% associate comorbidities.61,54% have no previous hospital admissions. The main diagnostics were Pneumonia(32,58%),malignant tumor and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. They spend an average of 9 days at hospital. 20,36% receive basic intervention on smoking. After discharge from hospital 30% quit smoking. 42,2% continue smoking but about half of them had previously stopped smoking for around 49 days.Co-oximetry of non-smokers is 4,21ppm.Discussion: Smokers who are admitted for first time in a Respiratory Unit have a hight tobacco consumption.One-third have symptoms in relation with smoking. 20% receive a basic intervention on smoking cessation which means a low rate of intervention and the need for greater emphasis on application of cessation programs. The out-patient follow-up would rise the numbers of tobacco cessation. It's necessary to potentiate the basic smoking intervention in admitted smokers and it's strongly important to create specialized consultations to promote smoking cessation. ER -
