Abstract:

 Cigarettes contain harmful substances. One of these, nicotine, has an addictive effect on smokers and it hinders vitamin C supply in smokers’ bodies. In this study, socialization about the dangers of cigarette smoking and training housewives as smoking cessation counselors for adult active smokers using anti-nicotine citrus candy (ANTRUM) as a health promotion media was carried out. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a smoking cessation counseling method for active smokers and analyze the different knowledge levels and attitudes of active smokers toward the dangers of smoking before and after counseling using ANTRUM. This quantitative study used a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design. Data were collected through observations and in-depth pre- and post-test interviews. This study was conducted over one month with 30 samples divided into two groups: control and experimental. Samples were determined by a saturated sampling technique carried out in Meteseh Subdistrict, Semarang City, Indonesia. Data analysis used paired t-tests with a significance level of 5%. The results found different knowledge levels and attitudes in active smokers before and after by smoking cessation counseling using ANTRUM. The control group pre- and post-test score was p = 0.483 (p>0.05), and the experimental group was p = 0.019 (p < 0.05). These results show that there was increased knowledge and changes in attitudes in active smokers before and after counseling with ANTRUM in Meteseh Subdistrict, Semarang City, Indonesia.
