The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and identify correlates of second-hand tobacco smoke (SHS) among 6,412 current non-smoking school-going adolescents (aged 11 to 18 years) in South Africa. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 2008 in South Africa within the framework of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey. Overall, 25.7% of students were exposed to SHS at home, 34.2% outside of the home and 18.3% were exposed to SHS at home and outside of the home. Parental and close friends smoking status, allowing someone to smoke around you and perception that passive smoking was harmful were significant determinants of adolescent's exposure to both SHS at home and outside of the home. Identified factors can inform the implementation of public health interventions in order to reduce passive smoking among adolescents.
本研究旨在估计南非 6412 名当前不吸烟的在校青少年（年龄在 11 至 18 岁之间）中二手烟（SHS）的流行情况，并确定其相关因素。2008 年，该研究在南非开展了一项横断面研究，作为全球青少年烟草调查的一部分。总体而言，25.7%的学生在家中接触 SHS，34.2%的学生在家庭以外的地方接触 SHS，18.3%的学生在家中和家庭以外的地方都接触 SHS。父母和亲密朋友的吸烟状况、允许他人在你身边吸烟以及认为被动吸烟有害，这些都是青少年在家中和家庭以外接触 SHS 的重要决定因素。确定的这些因素可以为实施公共卫生干预措施提供信息，以减少青少年被动吸烟。
