ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Smoking is an adverse behavior, a problem not only for health but also for other aspects of life. The role of the government has not been relied upon in reducing the prevalence of smoking in Indonesia, which is increasing every year, leading to cigarette control program initiatives from various non-government parties. One of them is the Smoke-Free Home program, which is a collaborative program between Quit Tobacco Indonesia (QTI) and the Yogyakarta City Health Office, which has been implemented in several areas in the city of Yogyakarta since 2009. This activity received support from community members who declared their homes smoke-free through a declaration submitted by the community itself and signed by the regional chairperson.
