to 2000. Design. Time series study. Setting. Health survey based on home interviews of a representative sample of the general population of Barcelona. Participants. In the years 1983, 1992, and 2000 we interviewed 3134, 5004, and 10 000 persons, respectively. Main outcome measures and results. Between 1983 and 2000 daily tobacco use showed a steady tendency to decrease among men, with a prevalence that decreased from 54.6% to 38.3%, while in women, smoking increased between 1983 and 1992 (from 20.9% to 25.4%) but remained stable in 2000 (24.5%). The proportion of smokers who said they wanted to quit increased in both sexes from 1992 (54.2%) to 2000 (65.7%). During this period the proportion of smokers who said their doctor had advised them to quit increased from 36.1% to 48.1%. The trends for both sexes showed that consumption of tobacco products was greater among less privileged socioeconomic groups. Conclusions. The results of this study confirm the decrease in the prevalence of daily consumption of tobacco products and the increase in smokers who would like to quit, in parallel with the increase in advice from physicians to quit. However, the trends among younger groups remained stable, a finding that makes it necessary to intensify efforts aimed at this population group.

Objetivos. Analizar las tendencias de la prevalencia del hábito tabáquico y sus determinantes en la población general de Barcelona entre 1983 y 2000. Diseño. Estudio de series temporales. Emplazamiento. Encuesta de salud mediante entrevista realizada en el domicilio a muestras representativas de la población general de Barcelona. Participantes. En los años 1983, 1992 y 2000 se entrevistó a 3.134, 5.004 y 10.000 personas, respectivamente. Mediciones y resultados principales. Entre 1983 y 2000 se mantiene la tendencia decreciente del consumo diario de tabaco entre los varones, que pasa del 54,6 al 38,3%, mientras que el consumo en las mujeres aumenta del 20,9% en 1983 al 24,5% en 1992, pero se mantiene estable en 2000 (24,5%). La proporción de fumadores que manifiesta su deseo de dejar de fumar aumenta en ambos sexos entre 1992 y 2000 y pasa del 54,2 al 65,7% del total de los fumadores. También se produce en este período un aumento de la proporción de fumadores que declara haber sido aconsejado para dejar de fumar por su médico (del 36,1 al 48,1%). Las tendencias en ambos sexos muestran un mayor consumo en los grupos socioeconómicos más desfavorecidos. Conclusiones. Los resultados del estudio confirman la disminución de la prevalencia del consumo diario de tabaco y el incremento de fumadores que se plantean dejar de fumar, paralelo al aumento del consejo médico. Sin embargo, las tendencias entre los grupos más jóvenes permanecen estables, lo que obliga a intensificar los esfuerzos en este grupo de población.
