Objectives: This study explores whether nonsmokers are willing to accept secondhand smoke, and factors associated with the behavior. Methods: The study design used the data of 2013 and 2015 Tobacco Health and Welfare Surcharge Telephone Survey obtained from the Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare. The two computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) surveys recruited a nationally representative sample of adults aged 18 and older in 2013 and 2015. We analyzed factors associated with the acceptance of secondhand smoke exposure using logistic and multinomial regression analysis. Results: Among 1926 persons, there were 55.0% women, 23.0% over 60 years old, 35.1% with higher education, 70.3% married and 45.7% unemployed. With 90.05% of never smokers, most nonsmokers (74.39%) did not want to accept the subsidy. Those who were willing to accept secondhand smoke would like to have a mean subsidy of NTD 272, ranged from NTD 256 to 290 for each secondhand smoke exposure. Results of the logistic regression analysis showed that participants of year 2015 (compared to year 2013), males, younger groups (18-29 years, 30-39 years, 40-49 years), and former smokers (compared to never smokers) tends to be willing to accept subsidy for a second-hand smoke exposure. Conclusions: Approximately 75% of non-smokers were unwilling to accept the secondhand smoke subsidy. Ex-smokers and young men were more likely to accept the subsidies ranged from NTD 256 to 290 for each exposure. |
