Latar Belakang: Prevalensi merokok di Indonesia termasuk yang tertinggi di dunia, dan usia inisiasi adalah relatif muda.

Pengetahuan tinggi tentang efek berbahaya dari paparan SHS dapat mengurangi paparan SHS, yang dapat mengurangi risiko kesehatan selanjutnya terkait. Tujuan: Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi perbedaan persepsi merokok pasif dan pendapat tentang jenis kelamin dan merokok di kalangan status merokok yang berbeda, kelompok usia dan jenis kelamin.

Responden berbagai siswa SMA di Yogyakarta pada tahun 2009. Hasil: Ada perbedaan yang signifikan persepsi merokok pasif antara status merokok (p-value = 0,002), jenis kelamin (p-value = 0,003), dan kelompok umur (p-value = 0,001). Ada perbedaan yang signifikan dari pendapat perokok laki-laki antara status merokok (p-value = 0,001), dan jenis kelamin (p-value = 0,001), tetapi ada perbedaan signifikan antara kelompok usia. Ada perbedaan yang signifikan dari pendapat wanita perokok antara status merokok (p-value = 0,001), jenis kelamin (p value = 0,001), dan kelompok umur (p-value = 0,001). Kesimpulan: Dari penelitian ini, ada perbedaan persepsi tentang merokok pasif dan pendapat tentang jenis kelamin dan merokok di kalangan status merokok yang berbeda, kelompok usia dan jenis kelamin.

Background: Smoking prevalence in Indonesia is among the highest in the world, and the age of initiation is relatively young. The health risks of being a passive smoking are often ignored as most people often not even aware of their existence. An increased knowledge of the harmful effects of SHS exposure can reduce exposure to SHS, which can reduce subsequent health risks associated.

Result: There is a significant difference of perception of passive smoking between smoking statuses (p-value = 0.002), gender (p-value = 0.003), and age groups (p-value = 0.001). There is a significant difference of opinion of male smokers between smoking statuses (p-value = 0.001), and gender (p-value = 0.001) but there is an insignificant difference between age groups. There is a significant difference of opinion of female smokers between smoking statuses (p-value = 0.001), gender (p value = 0.001), and age groups (p-value = 0.001).
