Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity in children under five. Several factors contribute to ARI incidence, including basic immunization status, exclusive breastfeeding, and family smoking habits. This study aimed to determine the relationship between these factors and the incidence of ARI among children aged 0–5 years in the working area of BLUD UPTD Puuwatu Public Health Center in 2025. The study employed an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 174 children as respondents. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed no significant relationship between basic immunization status and ARI incidence (p = 0.097), while a significant association was found between exclusive breastfeeding and ARI incidence (p = 0.000), as well as between family smoking habits and ARI incidence (p = 0.00). In conclusion, the most influential factors for ARI incidence were exclusive breastfeeding and exposure to family members who smoke. It is recommended that health workers strengthen education regarding the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and the dangers of cigarette smoke exposure, and that parents provide exclusive breastfeeding while keeping children away from smoking environments.
