College students are at risk of exposure to ETS in both the home and the workplace of part-time job. Comprehensive smoke-free legislation has been implemented in many countries except Japan. This study was conducted to evaluate the current status of secondhand smoke among female college students. Fifty five female students participated in this study. They completed a self-administered questionnaire about their ETS. Furthermore, urinary cotinine level was semi-quantified using NicCheck I TEST STRIPS. They are exposed to secondhand smoke from family members and staffs at work based on the questionnaire. The number of urinary cotinine positive cases were higher in students with ETS than without ETS, however this association was not significant. A level of discomfort to ETS was observed to be higher in urinary cotinine positive students. In Japan, we need countermeasure against ETS immediately., Exposure to environmental tobacco smoking (ETS) is associated with a range of adverse health outcomes.
