Background and objectives: Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure is known to affect adolescents’ health and increases the likelihood of becoming new smokers. Secondhand smoke avoidance behavior at home indicates an important practice among adolescents in protecting themselves from SHS exposure. This study aimed to examine secondhand smoke avoidance behavior and factors predicting secondhand smoke avoidance behavior at home among junior high school students, Mueang district, Chainat province. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study. The samples were 298 junior high school students who had been exposed to SHS at home. Data were collected using a questionnaire and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Multiple Linear Regression. Results: The result showed that the mean of secondhand smoke avoidance behavior score at home was 23.14 (SD=3.71), at the medium level. Family support (β=0.508, p<0.001), perceived self-efficacy of secondhand smoke avoidance (β=0.104, p=0.049), and exposure time to SHS (β=0.110, p=0.031) were significantly positively correlated with secondhand smoke avoidance behavior at home. The factors were accounted for 40.00% of secondhand smoke avoidance behavior (R2=0.400, p<0.001). Suggestions: The relevant agencies should encourage perceived self-efficacy of secondhand smoke avoidance in adolescents and promote family support at home in order to increase secondhand smoke avoidance behavior among adolescents
