Introduction: Smoking cessation is difficult, but it is possible with community and individual interventions. Counseling for quitting smoking is still lacking. The Indian government extended the role of community health nurses (CHNs) in 2013 to encourage healthy living choices including home based counseling to stop or quit smoking in a community. The aim is to find out the effectiveness of the CHNs delivered intervention for smoking cessation. Materials and method: Text messages were selected based on the scientifically proven facts. The selected participants were randomly divided into two groups where one group of participants received daily whats app text messages and counseling by the community health nurse on daily basis (group-1, n=81) while the other group of participants received the whatsapp text messages daily and counseling for three times a week (group-2, n=81). This was followed for 4 weeks to evaluate the reduction in carbon monoxide level among two groups. Descriptive statistics and chi square test was used for age and educational groups. To compare the values of carbon monoxide levels between the groups, Mann Whitney U test was employed. Results: A high statistically significant difference was found between the groups after intervention with 15.20±5.15 as their mean where p value is 0.002 (p<0.05) with 95% CI. Conclusion: Daily counseling by a community nurse along with daily whats app text messages is more effective than the community nurse delivering the counseling thrice a week with daily whats app text messages.
