Secondhand smoke is an issue that cannot be ignored due to its various negative effects. Especially, secondhand smoke inside the household is an area where health policy must pay attention as it can affect all age groups. This study aims to identify the factors associated with smoking inside the household focusing on socioeconomic status in Korea.
We used data from the Community Health Survey of 2017 and a total of 33,462 participated in the study. Data were analyzed through IBM SPSS version 25.0 to conduct binary logistic regression analysis.
Results indicated that indoor smoking had a significant association with socioeconomic status. This association was more marked in those participants who had low household income or those with elementary school education level or less. Furthermore, the study indicates that when the smoker is a woman, older, has higher stress, and is a heavier smoker, the probability of her smoking inside the house is higher.
Based on the results, it is meaningful that this study has found the factors of smoking inside household. The result identify the factors associated with indoor smoking at home, and it can be used as baseline data for developing new smoking cessation policies.
二手烟的负面影响众多，不容忽视。特别是，家庭内部的二手烟是健康政策必须关注的一个领域，因为它可能影响所有年龄段的人。本研究旨在确定与家庭内部吸烟相关的因素，重点关注韩国的社会经济地位。
我们使用了 2017 年社区健康调查的数据，共有 33462 人参与了这项研究。通过 IBM SPSS 版本 25.0 进行二项逻辑回归分析。
结果表明，室内吸烟与社会经济地位显著相关。这种关联在那些家庭收入较低或受教育程度为小学或以下的参与者中更为明显。此外，研究表明，当吸烟者是女性、年龄较大、压力较高且吸烟量较大时，她在家中吸烟的可能性更高。
