<![CDATA[A Smoke-Free Zone (KTR) is an area where smoking is prohibited; this policy is implemented in schools to protect students from exposure to cigarette smoke and to reduce smoking rates. Implementation remains challenging, as students are still found smoking within the school environment. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Smoke-Free Zone (KTR) policy at SMKN 2 Tanjung, Tabalong Regency, South Kalimantan, by examining smoking behavior, the role of teachers, and student attitudes. The study employed an analytical survey method with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 185 individuals, with a sample of 126 respondents selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test (α ≤ 0.05). The results indicate a significant relationship between the role of teachers regarding the KTR policy and the smoking habits of SMKN 2 Tanjung students (p-value = 0.041), between student attitudes toward the KTR policy and smoking habits (p-value = 0.000), and between perceptions of the KTR policy and smoking habits (p-value = 0.000). It is recommended that students refrain from smoking within the school premises and demonstrate compliance with the Smoke-Free Zone (KTR) policy as an act of responsibility and a positive example.]]>
