Abstract

Smoking significantly increases the risk of illness and mortality. Such a measure to reduce the tobacco epidemic at both the national and global levels is health education by health promotion. Objectives: The study's goals included a comprehensive evaluation of the literature to find models for altering health behaviour and assessing the evidence for those models' efficacy in helping people quit smoking. Four peer-reviewed papers outlining two smoking cessation behavioural interventional models—the transtheoretical model (TTM) and the health belief model (HBM)—that were published between 2008 and 2018 were found after a comprehensive assessment of the literature. Trip database, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE (PubMed) electronic databases were used.
