METHOD: Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted simultaneously using the design of “t” and Chi-square test through the distribution of questionnaires to 135 respondents as well as descriptive design and case studies, respectively. The data were collected by 13 informants through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. RESULTS: The results showed that 5 out of the 6 indicators of the demographic characteristics were correlated to the economic pressure of the families of adolescent smokers which also correlates with their health behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. CONCLUSION: The increase in the price of cigarettes and family control are measures that regulate children from buying cigarettes. ## Keywords - Medicine - Pandemic - Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) - Test (biology) - Documentation - Descriptive research - 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak - Descriptive statistics - Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) - Environmental health - Demography - Family medicine - Disease - Pathology - Infectious disease (medical specialty) - Statistics - Biology - Computer science - Outbreak - Programming language - Mathematics - Paleontology - Sociology --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
