Methods：This study adopts self-administered questionnaire. Population is the schools in North District, Eastern District and Xiangshan District of Hsinchu City in the 105 academic year. Stratified cluster sampling method is adopted. The schools are divided into three layers by region , and cluster random sampling is conducted in "schools". At least one school is sampled in each district. A total of 871 questionnaires are issued, recovering questionnaires 650 shares and the rate of return is 70.5%. Results：Of the 618 students in this study, 30.6% of the research participants are at precontemplation stage, 17.6% are at contemplation/preparation stage, 13.8% are at action stage, and 38% are at maintenance stage. Junior high school students at the action stage scored the highest in knowledge of second-hand smoke, processes of change, pros of decisional balance and self-efficacy, followed by junior high school students at the maintenance stage and junior high school students at the contemplation/preparation stage ,and finally junior high school students at the precontemplation stage. The scores of cons of decisional balance show great similarities in all stages. Both male and female junior high school students hold positive attitudes towards rejecting secondhand smoke. The higher levels of parent educational attainment, the more positive opinions students hold against rejecting secondhand smoke. Students who have never smoked have more positive opinions on the factors of rejecting secondhand smoke. Students who do not live with smokers have more positive opinions on the factors of rejecting secondhand smoke. Students whose friends do not smoke have more positive opinions on the factors of rejecting secondhand smoke. In other words, no matter what their gender is, participants whose parents have higher level of educational attainment, participants who are nonsmokers, participants who do not live with smokers, and participants whose friends do not smoke all have more positive opinions on the factors of rejecting secondhand smoke. Conclusion：The study supports the application of the transtheoretical model in the rejecting secondhand smoke in junior high school students. With the increase of knowledge, the use of processes of change, decisional balance, and self-efficacy, junior high school students will be able to place more emphasis on preventing secondhand smoke.
