Background: Smoking is harmful to health, especially in adolescents. We evaluated the relationship between active smoking in adolescents and passive smoking exposure at home.
Methods: We acquired data from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey in 2014. Active smoking included recent cigarette and electronic cigarette smoking. Exposure to passive smoking in the home was categorized into three groups: none, 0, 1 or 2 and more than 3 times per week. A chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the association between current smoking in adolescents and passive smoking exposure at home
Results: Passive smoking exposure at home was associated with active smoking in adolescents. Current smoking in adolescents was significantly higher in the group that was exposed to passive smoking at home more than three times per week (17.7%) compared to the groups exposed one to two times per week (8.7%) or not exposed (7.9%). The odds ratios of current smoking in adolescents were 0.984 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.850-1.140, P=0.833) in the group exposed to passive smoking one to two times per week and 1.705 (95% CI 1.455-1.997, P<0.001) in the group exposed more than three times per week compared to the group without exposure.
Conclusion: Passive smoking exposure at home was associated with a higher prevalence of active smoking in adolescents. Reduction of passive smoking exposure in the home would reduce smoking habits in the youth, which will benefit their families and as well as the society.
