A longitudinal, prospective study of educational intervention was carried out in the family medical office No. 60 belonging to the University Polyclinic "Luis A. Turcios Lima" of the Pinar del Río municipality of this province, in the period from January 2020 to December 2020, with the purpose of raising the level of knowledge about smoking among patients with this habit. The universe of the research was formed by the totality (102) of smoking patients older than 15 years old and the sample after applying the exclusion criteria was formed by 87 patients. A survey and knowledge test were applied and the "Smoke-free" educational program was designed to meet the patients' learning needs, after which it was applied using educational and affectiveparticipative techniques to achieve active participation. At the end of the intervention, a knowledge test was applied to compare the results. The data were processed in tables, the Chi-square test (X2), MacNemar test and distribution in absolute and relative frequencies were used and statistical significance and relationship of these variables was determined with a significance level of 95 % certainty. The level of knowledge about the risks and harms of smoking was increased in the population studied and the application of the educational work was significant in a qualitative way due to the changes in their reflections, thus achieving the results of the study.
