In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between active smoking and environmental tobacco smoke exposure on sleep‐quality complaints. In total, 1023 young adult participants completed online surveys. Based on these surveys, participants were classified into three groups according to their level of smoke exposure (low, moderate, high). An analysis of covariance revealed that, after controlling for sex, participants with high and moderate smoke exposure reported more sleep complaints than those with low exposure. Among non‐smokers, hierarchical linear regression indicated that environmental tobacco smoke exposure was positively associated with sleep complaints. Improved understanding of modifiable risk factors for young adults' poor sleep quality, such as smoke exposure, could enable lifestyle changes that might lay the foundation for improved health at later life stages.
