This study aimed to analyze the smoking behavior of employees after the implementation of the no-smoking area by using the concept of behavior intention on the theory of Snehandu B Kar. This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological design. Informants were selected by using the snowball technique. We found eighteen employees at the mayor’s office of Makassar as participants in this study. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. Triangulation methods and member check did data validation. Data were analyzed using content analysis and presented in a narrative. The results showed that the informant has an intention to change smoking behavior before the implementation of a no-smoking area. The informant obtains social support from support information sourced from family, friends, and superiors. Informants felt the ease of reaching information and facilities regarding the no-smoking area. The two informants experienced personal autonomy in the form of a decision to change the behavior. Action situation prompted the informant to quit smoking triggered by the availability of warning boards prohibiting smoking and restrictions on the provision of facilities like an ashtray. Thus concluded that the smoking behavior of employees is determined by the intention, social support, accessibility of information, and the action situation that affect personal autonomy that allows employees to change their smoking behavior. This study suggested forming special unit officers and managers of the no-smoking area for disciplining an employee’s smoking behavior and impose sanctions for employees who smoke in the no-smoking area.
