This study examines how the educational composition of cohabiting romantic partners is associated with in-home smoking and electronic tobacco/nicotine device use. Data were collected through an online survey between November 15-26, 2022. Couples were the unit of analysis, and binomial LASSO regression with approximate absolute Shapley values was calculated. The study found that complete home smoking bans were negatively associated with both partners having secondary or higher education and with female-only higher education, but not with male-only higher education. Financial deprivation was positively correlated with both in-home smoking and electronic device use patterns. The presence of children was negatively correlated. Male partners' smoking and device use demonstrated consistently stronger effects than female partners' status. The findings suggest that allowing in-home smoking and electronic tobacco/nicotine device use is more prevalent in disadvantaged communities. The correlation between women's educational advantage relative to their male partners and reduced in-home smoking indicates increased bargaining power in establishing smoke-free homes. These results highlight the importance of considering gender-power-imbalance-sensitive approaches when developing interventions aimed at promoting smoke-free households, particularly in disadvantaged communities.
