Anti-smoking counseling by physicians has demonstrated to be the treatment modality of smokers with the best cost-benefit ratio. The basic stages of physician intervention are summarized in the four "A's" of clinical activities: ask, advise, assist, arrange. The systematic use of this methodology by the health teams could achieve 80000 ex-smokers per year in our country.
