Objective: to describe the non-pharmacological interventions carried out by nursing that have been reported in the current literature to promote cessation of tobacco use.Method: integrative review of literature through Google Scholar, Scopusc, Cochrane and Pubmed databases.The articles published between 2014 and 2018 were taken.The main search descriptors were: "tobacco use cessation" and "nursing care".A total of 11 manuscripts were included that were analyzed by level of evidence, type of intervention and main results.Results: 54.5% of the manuscripts corresponded to publications of medium evidence, 36.4% studies of high evidence and 9.1% low evidence, according to criteria of Jover and Navarro-Rubio.Interventions mainly carried out by nursing are related to brief and intensive face-toface counseling and telephone counseling.Conclusion: most of the studies analyzed are located in medium and high evidence.Nursing is able to demonstrate with its interventions the increase of the rates of punctual abstinence in all the studies; In spite of this, the evidence shows that a greater preparation is required from the nursing process in order to intervene and promote tobacco cessation.
