- Abstract
Smoking behavior is a global health threat. Indonesia ranks third after China and India, with the most significant number of smoking behaviors in the world. Indonesia has implemented a No Smoking Area policy in the workplace and health facilities, but its implementation in the field is still not consistently implemented. The average smoking behavior of health workers in Indonesia was 20%. The research was to explore the smoking behavior on health workers at Nusa Tenggara Barat Province, Indonesia. The research design used a phenomenology study toward 6 participants based on snowball sampling technique. The research generated six themes: 1) The early experience of smoking behavior since middle school, 2) The reasons of smoking behavior were psychological and environment factors, 3) The effects of smoking behavior were physiological, psychological, economy, interpersonal and situational effect, 4) The commitment to quit smoking: having desires quit smoking but has not succeeded, 5) The problematic smoking behavior to change: smoking becomes a daily routine, 6) The obstacles to educating people on smoking behavior: not daring to provide health education on smoking behavior. The health workers who smoke have constraints to educate people in the working environment about smoking behavior.
