Objective  To explore the status of smoking and passive smoking of the population with the high risk of stroke in the community and their attitude towards smoking control. Methods  In March 2015, under the direction of Stroke Screening and Prevention Projection, the residents with the high risk of stroke were sought out in Longfeng Community, Suining City, Sichuan Province. And then their status of smoking and passive smoking and their attitude towards smoking control was investigated by Passive Smoking Questionnaire for Adults from National Smoking Control Office. Results  A total of 354 residents with the high risk of stroke were sought out, in whom 152 (42.9%) were smokers, and the smoking rate of males (70.1%) and females (1.4%) was significantly different (P<0.001). Those aged 40-49 had the highest smoking rate (55.0%), followed by those aged 50-59 (51.7%), and smokers of the two age groups accounted for 73.0% of all smokers. There was significant difference in smoking rate among different age groups (P<0.001). The smoking rate of those with a lower education level of primary school (57.9%) was the highest, and there were significant differences in smoking rates among the population with different education levels (P<0.001). The smoking rate of the solitary (95.7%) was higher than that of the non solitary (34.9%) (P<0.001). In 202 non-smokers, 67 (33.2%) was suffered from passive smoking, and the rate of passive smoking was 31.3% in males and 62.3% in females with a significant difference (P<0.001). The proportion of the female non-smokers against passive smoking (84.1%) was higher than that of the male non-smokers (57.8%). According to the participants report, 79.9% of participants approved completely non-smoking in hospital, school and public transport, 66.4% approved non-smoking in the office and traffic station, and only 10.2% approved non-smoking in the restaurants. Conclusions  The rates of smoking and passive smoking among the population with the high risk of stroke are high, and most of the population are supportive to smoke prohibition in public places except restaurants. The population with a low cultural level is short of smoking harm knowledge.
