Currently studying in the bachelor's degree amount 323 people. The research tool was a questionnaire to examine in the quality of the tool in term of Health Belief Models in the second-hand smoke and perceived effects in the second-hand smoke. Content validity was at .070 and 0.75, respectively, and reliability was the same at 0.89. Data were collected by word of mouth, starting with a student smoker who the researchers knew. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and multiple regression statistics.The result revealed that the majority were female, aged 19 - 23 years on an average age of 20.69, currently studying in the faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, sharing dormitory with other.

Statistically significant (p<0.05) and the perceived factor of Health Belief Models regarding general second-hand smoke. It is related to the perceived effects of the second-hand smoke among university students. Statistically significant (p<0.05) was at a high level (r = 0.76, p = 0.00). In each aspect was found that perception of disease severity (b = 1.47, β = 0.46), perception of total Health Belief models (b = 0.38, β = 0.48) and perception of self-efficacy (b = 0.40, β = 0.15). There variables were able to predict the perceived effects in the second-hand smoke by 63.5 percent.
