Objective: to develop and evaluate a Virtual Teaching-Learning Environment for training nurses in smoking cessation, assessing the Content Validity Index and nurses' perceptions. Method: the environment was developed using the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation model and validated by six public health and smoking experts. Nurses were invited to participate in the online course. Usability was assessed with the SUS Scale, and the content validity index was calculated. Results: the content validity index showed values above 0.80, indicating high expert agreement on content relevance and clarity. The SUS Scale averaged 85 points, indicating good usability. Conclusion: the virtual environment effectively trained nurses, promoted continuing education, and enhanced performance in smoking management.
