Smoking Angels.
Make Smoke Not War.
Child smoking in Indonesia is cool, popular, and...unstoppable.
Indonesia is one of the few countries in the world that hasn’t signed the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. This means cigarettes are still extremely cheap and cigarette advertising is not forbidden.
According to the World Health Organization, 63% of Indonesia’s men smoke – the highest male smoking rate in the world.
The 2014 Global Youth Tobacco Survey reported that a staggering 36% of boys aged 13-15 were smokers. The number of children smoking in Indonesia is getting out of control – more than 30% of Indonesia’s 80 million children reportedly take to smoking before the age of 10 – yet it is perfectly legal for a child of any age to buy and smoke cigarettes.
Cigarettes are bad. Definitely. But in Indonesia , where people (mostly Muslim) don't drink alcohol and all others drugs are very strictly forbidden, cigarettes are the only permitted "joy".
That partly explains why they are smoking so much.
For me this is also the only explanation, why Indonesian remain everyday so calm, gentle, nonaggressive and happy.
Make Smoke Not War.
