Background: Smoking is a public health problem that affects not only active smokers but also non-smoking family members through exposure to second-hand smoke in the home. Objective: This study aimed to describe smoking behavior among residents of Lambuluo Village, Motui Subdistrict, North Konawe Regency, in 2025. Methods: This descriptive observational study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted in January 2025. The population and sample comprised all households in Lambuluo Village (67 heads of household), selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed univariately using frequency distributions. Results: Of the 67 respondents, 52 (77.6%) reported having a family member who smoked. The most common age of smoking initiation was 15–19 years (50%), followed by 20–49 years (42.3%). The most frequently smoked type was white/filter cigarettes (84.6%). The highest smoking intensity was 11–20 cigarettes/day (46.2%), followed by 1–10 cigarettes/day (26.9%) and >20 cigarettes/day (26.9%). Most respondents reported cigarette expenditure in the range of IDR 20,000–29,000 (44.2%). Conclusion: Household smoking behavior in Lambuluo Village was high, with initiation predominantly occurring in late adolescence and a predominance of filter cigarettes and moderate smoking intensity. Therefore, strengthening smoke-free home initiatives, improving risk communication, and promoting the use of Smoking Cessation Services (UBM) are recommended.
