Secondhand smoke exposure in Indonesia is high, especially compared to other Southeast Asian countries. Passive smoking leads to negative impacts on health and socio-economic well-being. Therefore, increasing the price of cigarettes and, thereby, increasing barriers to access to cigarettes could be an effective way to reduce smoking prevalence and protect people from second-hand smoke. This study aims to assess passive smokers' support for cigarette price increases in Indonesia. We perform a quantitative analysis with a cross-sectional design. The data were obtained through phone-based interviews of 1000 respondents aged 18 and older in Indonesia. Only 596 nonsmokers were included to be further analyzed in this study. This study found that 44.1% respondents have at least one family member who smokes. We considered the respondents' age, gender, education level, employment, and the number of people living in the respondent's household that are exposed to passive smoking. Our results demonstrate that passive smokers support stronger tobacco control such as increasing cigarette prices, regulating smoking behavior using a religious approach (), and applying more effective pictorial health warnings.
印度尼西亚的二手烟暴露水平很高，特别是与其他东南亚国家相比。被动吸烟会对健康和社会经济福祉产生负面影响。因此，提高香烟价格，从而增加获得香烟的障碍，可能是减少吸烟率和保护人们免受二手烟危害的有效方法。本研究旨在评估印度尼西亚被动吸烟者对提高香烟价格的支持程度。我们采用横断面设计进行定量分析。数据通过电话采访获得，调查对象为年龄在 18 岁及以上的 1000 名印度尼西亚人。本研究仅纳入了 596 名不吸烟的人进行进一步分析。研究发现，44.1%的受访者至少有一名家庭成员吸烟。我们考虑了受访者的年龄、性别、教育水平、就业状况以及受被动吸烟影响的家庭人口数。研究结果表明，被动吸烟者支持更严格的烟草控制措施，如提高香烟价格、通过宗教手段规范吸烟行为()以及采用更有效的图片健康警示。
