Core Tip	Studies have consistently shown that smoking is a major public health concern among individuals with severe mental illness. The literature suggests that randomized controlled trials examining smoking cessation interventions, particularly nurse-led interventions, remain limited. This study demonstrated that nurse-led smoking cessation training delivered to individuals with severe mental illness registered in a community mental health center was effective in reducing nicotine dependence and daily cigarette consumption and in increasing smoking cessation self-efficacy. The results indicate that a nurse-delivered program can generate meaningful short-term improvements both in dependence levels and in individuals’ confidence in their ability to quit smoking.
