Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provide a flexible platform for such education. This study assessed the satisfaction of health professionals with the content of the MOOC "Smoking: Quit Your Own Way!", distributed over the period 2020-2023, and their success rates in completing of this course.

Results:
Most participants were women (FUN: 79.7 %; PNS: 84.0 %), with nurses being the largest group (FUN: 27.7 %; PNS: 28.6 %). Satisfaction was high (97.9 %). Weekly quiz success rates ranged from 15.5 % to 30.0 %. Rehabilitation professionals had the highest success rate at 40.2 %, followed by medical doctors at 35.7 %, and dental surgeons at 34.9 %. Midwives and nurses both had a success rate of 32.2 %. Other notable rates included prevention professionals at 30.9 % and psychologists at 27.6 %. The lowest success rates were seen in social professions (16.0 %) and nurse assistants (9.4 %).
