Data analysis used the Odds Ratio (OR) test. The results of the study from 150 respondents had good knowledge, namely 87 respondents (58%) with the incidence of acute nasopharyngitis for the non-nasopharyngitis category, namely 7 respondents (8.0%) while in the smoking category for nasopharyngitis, namely 55 respondents (87.3%) and in-home environment that did not meet the requirements, namely 84 respondents (55.3%) with the incidence of acute nasopharyngitis for the non-nasopharyngitis category, namely 17 respondents (20.2%) and for the nasopharyngitis category, namely 67 respondents (79.8%). The conclusion is that there is a relationship between knowledge and the incidence of acute nasopharyngitis, with the obtained p-value = 0.000, where the OR value = 43.956. There is a relationship between smoking habits and the incidence of acute nasopharyngitis, p = 0.000, where OR = 8.865, and there is a relationship between the home environment and the incidence of acute nasopharyngitis, p = 0.000, where OR = 0.165.
