Now, exactly Indonesia has known as biggest area in ASEAN nations. Hasn’t it? But, do you know that Indonesian biggest also as smoker amount? Welcome to kingdom where the best cigarette produce. Welcome to Indonesia. Here, cigarette has to be long run discussion. There are two side, religion side consider cigarette as bad thing and unallowable. This is because cigarette brings much badness for body and anyone who whiff the smoke. Another side, Cigarette and all big industries that make it will still stand in their great business. As I know, Cigarette industry has contribute with not little amount of tax. Actually, I never realize about the badness habit of Indonesian smoker. I thought that is normal. Cigarette has offered easily. There are many choice of price from the cheapest till the most expensive (But, believe me, the most expensive one is still cheap for foreigner). Cigarette has offer in every store, traditional and modern retail. Everyone can get it so easy. This is different with Beer. Beer is Prohibited. The sellers have to hide the beer if they want to sell in their store. If police know it, that is will be problem. Go back to cigarette, Many my friend already smoking since their high school. Maybe the comparison is from the five boys there is only one who not smoking. It will be big problem when smokers don’t care and not have enough knowledge about cigarette and smoke. They just smoking in everywhere without thinking they will disturb other people with their smoke. It is so bad. One day, My Thai friend came to my hometown. Bad news is he got a problem when he breathes near smoker. He cannot breathe normally if there are many smokes from cigarette. His face will become red. Believe it or not, he got that situation in many places here. When we went to market, when we ride Angkot, even we stay in their dorm, Its is many people who smoking. The miserable is, the smoker will smoke like there are no one around them. They are just smoking as comfort as they can. My Thai and My Cambodian friend wonder how can so many people who smoking in Indonesia. That is a contrast comparison in their countries. I am so sorry. I have to compare with Thai, and Singapore, Cambodia. In those three countries, there are not too many people who smoke. I realize this because cigarette is not too cheap in there. It is make cigarette is not too popular. But, the most important thing that you have to know is how they avoid smoker for other people. In Thailand, almost in night, there are announcement that show can smoking in that area. Everyone who smoking in that area will be fund about 2,000 baht Thailand. In Singapore there are smoking areas for smoker. When we look around in rest time at noon, many people will come to there for smoking. That is also in Cambodia, My Cambodian friend told me, There is not many people who smoking. They just shock when how many Indonesian smoking is look. Are we proud of it, exactly no. It is really disturbing I think. I realize, There are many people around me who smoking. I just keep away from them, because it is will be sound impolite for asking them for keep away from me. I just tell with my close friend or my family please be keep away when they are smoking. But do you know? Currently, Indonesian Government has new regulation about cigarette packing. All company has to show picture about smoking impact. Some of my friend always broke the picture. I know they are scare but they don’t to care with the badness of smoking enough. I knew that is too late to make that regulation. Long time before Indonesia, Thailand has made that regulation already. The picture is bigger than in Indonesia Cigarette packing. At mini market, such as seven eleven they will put cigarette in rack that totally covered. We cannot guess if there is cigarette without asking. Smoker will ask or read announcement that tell “SELL CIGARETTE HERE”. Okay then, I realizes, there are local labor who work to make cigarette. If the industry is close, there are many people will unemployment. The best way is to build awareness of avoiding smoking from personal. Do you know? Because of new regulation on packing system of cigarette, There are some of my friends who stop for smoking. Even My brother in law has totally stopped for smoking since a month before. At least, they feel feared since saw the picture of cigarette. Now, Indonesia is booming with tagline “Smoking will kill You”. I hope that many people will be aware of it. We still have many choices for good way to die. Don’t let a cigarette try to kill you, although you think is only a simple things for your mouth.
