Introduction: In Indonesia, cigarette can be advertised with health warning incorporated. Therefore tobacco use in Indonesia is still high. Daily adolescent smokers are public health problem as they can become adult smokers and develop smoking related health problems. Objection: Our study aims to estimate the prevalence of young smokers in slum areas of urban area as Jakarta and its risk factors, as a basis for further adolescent anti-smoking campaign. Methods: This study included 255 samples from two hamlets. WHO's adolescent criteria was used (12-24 years old). The outcome studied was the smoking behaviour. The risk factors were demographic, social, environmental, and personal factors. Rates, percentages, and descriptive statistics were done. Logistic regression analyses were carried out by Backward Stepwise (Wald) method. Odd ratios, 95% confidence intervals, and p-values were calculated for each independent variable. Results: The results showed that respondents who were more than 16 years old (OR=3.02; p=0.031), had last education at elementary school to junior high school (OR=4.45; p=0.029), did not feel disturbed by smoker surrounded (OR=4.40; p=0.001) and had perception that smoking is not dangerous (OR= 10.55; p=0.000), were tended to be current smokers. Conclusion: There is a need to keep adolescence to formal education, as being attached to school might protect them from smoking neighbourhoods and focused the effort of smoking cessation. Tobacco control must begin at junior high school to keep the rate from rising drastically in older adolescents. Smoking ban, education for teenage at workplaces, and education for parents are important. Effort should focus to make smoking is socially unacceptable.
