Adolescence is a critical period of curiosity and experimentation, often associated with increased risk-taking, including smoking. Once initiated, smoking can become a difficult habit to quit. Strengthening adolescents’ knowledge about its dangers and fostering parental support are key to prevention. This study aimed to examine the influence of adolescents’ knowledge and parental roles on smoking behavior among high school students in Jakarta, Indonesia. A descriptive-analytical research with a cross-sectional design was conducted, involving 155 high school students selected through stratified random sampling. The dependent variable was smoking behavior, while the independent variables included adolescents’ knowledge of smoking and the parental role. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed statistically. Results indicated a significant relationship between knowledge and smoking behavior (p=0.003). Adolescents with higher knowledge were 4.671 times more likely to be non-smokers. In contrast, no significant relationship was found between parental role and adolescent smoking behavior (p=0.600). These findings highlight the critical role of knowledge in deterring smoking among adolescents. Strengthening health education in schools may empower students to make informed, healthy choices. While parental influence showed no direct statistical association, parents remain important figures and should model nonsmoking behavior to reinforce anti-smoking norms.
