Smoking Literacy is defined as the capacity of individuals to understand and use health information related to smoking. Given the high prevalence of smoking and its harmful effects on the health of people, it seems that the health status of community could be improved through the promotion of smoking literacy. In this regard, health planners should design and implement educational programs based on the effective dimensions of smoking literacy. Furthermore, the more understanding about relevant dimensions of health literacy which have stronger relationship with deciding on tobacco use, the clearer, informative and practical messages could be provided for quitting smoking and preventing measures.مراجع
