Brief Summary

The causes of death due to smoking are responsible for 11.5% of the total deaths in the world. Smoking causes lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular diseases. In some studies on nursing students in the world, the prevalence of smoking is between 13.9% and 32%; It is known that it varies between 12.9% and 28% in Turkey. At the end of this study, nursing students are supported in smoking cessation by providing smoking cessation training, they become a role model for the society by gaining the right behavior, creating a society that smokes less, reducing the financial burden on the state as a result of protecting individuals from possible chronic diseases, and guiding health trainings on this subject. It is foreseen that it will be a guide in its implementation in the whole country. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the I Stop Smoking, Protecting My Future and Health program based on the Preced-Proceed Model on the smoking behavior of nursing students.
