Sports are a positive phenomenon for people of all ages in terms of mental, physical, and spiritual health. Smoking can have a negative impact on the aforementioned health issues. Based on these considerations, the study's goal was to investigate the relationship between commitment to sports and intention to quit smoking, and the relational screening model was employed to this end. The research group consisted of 248 individuals determined by convenience sampling method. The “Sport Engagement Scale (SES)” and the "Intention to Quit Smoking Scale (IQSS)" were used in the study. To examine demographic characteristics, the T-test and ANOVA tests were used in the data analysis. The relationship between the scales was also assessed using the Pearson correlation test. The study's findings revealed that participants' average scores on both sport engagement and its factors, as well as their intention to quit smoking, were close to high. The t-test and ANOVA test results revealed significant differences in the variables of gender, health effects of smoking, weekly sports day, the years of smoking, and the years of doing sports. It was determined that there were positive and significant relationships between the scores of intention to quit smoking and te overall score of sport engagement scale and its "vigor and absorption" factors.
