Abstract

Smoking is the second highest cause of death of people around the world. The World Health Organization has reported that more than 7 million people die from smoking each year. According to the situation in Thailand in 2015, it was found that 10.9 million people or 19.9 percent of the population aged 15 years and older smokedThis not only had a great impact on health and loss, but also impacted limited health personnel with a high workload. Village health volunteers (VHVs) are therefore an important workforce to stop smoking. The objective of this paper is to present the role of community nurses in capacity building for smoking cessation of village health volunteers. Community nurses have the roles of health educator, leader, coalition builder, facilitator, counselor, mentor, and coach. They also take the role of empowering the village health volunteers to employ community-based programs to solve the problem  of smoking cessation in the community.
