Sixty medical students from Ondokuz Mayis University attended a selective smoking cessation counseling and prevention class (total 96 hours) at 2011-2012 academic year. After attending an initial 8 weeks of lectures, problem-based sessions, case presentations, patient videos and workshops, the students then assisted with the counseling of real smokers in the remaining 4 weeks, under supervision. Students’knowledge of tobacco dependence, treatment and counseling strategies was scored before (pretest) and after (post-test) the course using a 50-item questionnaire. The students’ skills were evaluated in an Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) . A significant difference was determined between thepretest (12.7±7.6) and post-test (35.8±7.8) results (p\u003C0.001) . The mean OSCE score was 89.2±2.7. The smoking cessation counseling and prevention selective class is highly effective in improving students’ cessation counseling skills.  \n© 2017 OMU  \n1. Introduction  \nSmoking is the single most important preventable risk factor for global mortality and morbidity from many diseases, from cardiovascular diseases to cancer (Mathers and Loncar, 2006; WHO, 2013) . Regardless of their specialty, physicians’ responsibilities in the fight against smoking can be grouped under three main goals; to ensure that non-smokers do not start (especially children and teenagers), to help smokers to quit (especially more vulnerable individuals such as pregnant women and children) and lastly to encourage ex-smokers not to relapse (Zwar et al., 2014). However, several studies have shown that many physicians lose  \nmotivation and interest in promoting these services (McAvoy et al. , 1999; Ellerbeck et al. , 2001; Ferguson et al. , 2005). A heavy work load and insufficient time, a lack of systems to support cessation services and an absence of financial incentives are some factors that have been investigated to account for this (Rigotti and Thorndike, 2001; Brotons et al. , 2005) . Many physicians report feeling insufficient confidence in their counseling skills and believe that the most important obstacle to promoting these activities is a lack of adequate training and skills (Conroy et al. , 2005; Warner et al. , 2013) . Despite the impact of smoking on human health, undergraduate medical  \neducation fails to devote proper attention to improving cessation and prevention skills and knowledge (Ferry et al. , 1999; Montalto et al. , 2004; Richmond, 2009) . Although it has been suggested that undergraduate education is the optimal time for skills training in tobacco cessation, most physicians manage to graduate from medical schools with no or only minimal formal training in cessation and prevention (Richmond et al. , 2009) . Many medical schools around the world still prefer to imbed didactic information regarding smoking and tobacco dependence into the curriculum (Frank et al., 2007) .
