AB  - OBJECTIVE: A creating smoke-free home is a way to protect a vulnerable group from 
      being exposed to secondhand smoke in the home, such as children, infants, and 
      non-smokers. Studies reported an intervention for promoting a smoke-free home by 
      using secondhand smoke messages and smoking cessation messages. However, the 
      thirdhand smoke (THS) message has rarely been found. Therefore, this study aimed 
      to explore the prevalence and correlations of smoking bans in homes. METHODS: 
      Secondary data from a community-based cross-sectional design survey was used for 
      this study. Smoking ban status was defined as a smoking ban or no smoking ban. We 
      used multiple logistic regression to test the association between factors and 
      smoking ban status. An adjusted odd ratio and 95% confidence interval were 
      reported. RESULTS: Of the 882 participants included in this analysis, 38.66% 
      (95%CI: 35.43, 41.97) had a smoking ban at home. A multiple logistic regression 
      analysis showed that participants who believe that secondhand or THS harms 
      children had a greater correlation with developing a smoking ban in the home 
      compared with those who did not believe (odd ratio: 3.94, 95% confidence 
      interval: 2.35, 6.60 and odd ratio:4.22, 95% confidence interval:2.6, 6.86, 
      respectively). CONCLUSION: This study found that the belief that thirdhand smoke 
      and secondhand smoke exposure harm children. The smoke-free home message's 
      relevance to the harms of thirdhand smoke exposure should be adapted to be 
      promoted, especially in homes.
