Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate public perceptions (knowledge, attitudes, and perceived impact) of the single-stick cigarette sales ban in Indonesia, and to identify sociodemographic and behavioral factors associated with these outcomes.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey study was conducted among 714 respondents in seven selected districts in Indonesia, utilizing the Knowledge, Attitude, and Perception (KAP) framework. Multivariable analyses were performed using binary logistic regression for knowledge and ordered logistic regression for attitude and perception. Robust standard errors were applied, and findings are reported as adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs).

Result: Most respondents (66.11%) were unaware of the regulation. Older adults (≥55) had lower knowledge (aOR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.28-0.79), and active smokers opposed the ban (aOR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.23-0.51). Higher education (aOR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.00-4.63) and urban residence (aOR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.08-2.51) correlated with supportive attitudes. Knowledge (aOR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.25-2.87) and supportive attitudes (aOR = 2.86, 95% CI: 1.56-5.22) were the strongest predictors of perceiving the ban as effective for public health.

Conclusion: The implementation of the single-stick cigarette ban in Indonesia has been ineffective, primarily due to a lack of public awareness of the regulation. Smokers and older adults demonstrate significantly limited knowledge of and acceptance toward the policy. These findings highlight the need for increased public awareness campaigns and targeted interventions to improve knowledge and compliance with the single-stick cigarette sales ban in Indonesia.

知识、态度和单支香烟禁令的感知影响：印度尼西亚的一项横断面研究。

目的：本研究旨在调查印度尼西亚公众对单支香烟销售禁令的看法（知识、态度和感知影响），并确定与这些结果相关的社会人口和行为因素。方法：采用知识、态度和感知（KAP）框架，对印度尼西亚七个选定地区的714名受访者进行了横断面调查研究。多变量分析使用二元逻辑回归的知识和有序逻辑回归的态度和知觉。采用稳健标准误差，并以95%置信区间（95% ci）的调整优势比（aORs）报告结果。结果：大多数受访者（66.11%）不了解该规定。老年人（≥55岁）对禁烟令的了解程度较低（aOR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.28-0.79），积极吸烟者反对禁烟令（aOR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.23-0.51）。高等教育（aOR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.00-4.63）和城市居住（aOR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.08-2.51）与支持态度相关。知识（aOR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.25-2.87）和支持态度（aOR = 2.86, 95% CI: 1.56-5.22）是认为禁令对公共卫生有效的最强预测因子。结论：印度尼西亚禁止单棒香烟的实施是无效的，主要是由于缺乏公众对该法规的认识。吸烟者和老年人对这项政策的了解和接受程度明显有限。这些调查结果突出表明，需要加强公众宣传活动和有针对性的干预措施，以提高对印度尼西亚单支卷烟销售禁令的认识和遵守情况。

期刊介绍： Cancer is a very complex disease. While many aspects of carcinoge-nesis and oncogenesis are known, cancer control and prevention at the community level is however still in its infancy. Much more work needs to be done and many more steps need to be taken before effective strategies are developed. The multidisciplinary approaches and efforts to understand and control cancer in an effective and efficient manner, require highly trained scientists in all branches of the cancer sciences, from cellular and molecular aspects to patient care and palliation. The Asia Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention (APOCP) and its official publication, the Asia Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention (APJCP), have served the community of cancer scientists very well and intends to continue to serve in this capacity to the best of its abilities. One of the objectives of the APOCP is to provide all relevant and current scientific information on the whole spectrum of cancer sciences. They aim to do this by providing a forum for communication and propagation of original and innovative research findings that have relevance to understanding the etiology, progression, treatment, and survival of patients, through their journal. The APJCP with its distinguished, diverse, and Asia-wide team of editors, reviewers, and readers, ensure the highest standards of research communication within the cancer sciences community across Asia as well as globally. The APJCP publishes original research results under the following categories: -Epidemiology, detection and screening. -Cellular research and bio-markers. -Identification of bio-targets and agents with novel mechanisms of action. -Optimal clinical use of existing anti-cancer agents, including combination therapies. -Radiation and surgery. -Palliative care. -Patient adherence, quality of life, satisfaction. -Health economic evaluations.
