Methods: This study was an observational study with a qualitative approach. Its respondents were determined purposively focusing on the Head of Dukun District, some officials of the District, and its visitors. Results: This study found that a majority of respondents understood effects and impacts of smoking to their health. They requested an issuance of official letter for a non-smoking area.
