The Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was used where by the researchers facilitate and empower a communtiy. Community meetings were set up for exchange of experiences and for volunteers who could participate in a counseling training program. These volunteers were screened to promote group motivation, initiate a culturally relevant medium, and to create a network for community organization. Motivation was enhanced by volunteers among three partners: 1) smokers - to become healthier through counseling information of the harmful effects of smoking and benefits of quitting smoking; 2) families- encouraged household members to assess their health, expenditure, and outcomes if any of their own family members stopped smoking; and 3) communities - raised awareness toward smoking control among housewives, workers, seniors, and adolescent groups, who founded a sense of caring for one another as their cousins, increased the number of free-smoking zones in the temples, schools, health centers, ex-smokers' houses and areas for community activities. Lessons were learned by the communities, health problems and high cost of cigarette were the greatest motivation and participation in smoking central; however, decreasing the number of new smokers remains of considerable concern.
