    Cigarette companies. That’s a pest no one who wants a clean future would miss.

    I remember seeing a documentary years ago showing that all of the stuff the West was trying to stop cigarette companies from doing in terms of marketing to kids they were doing with no restrictions in Indonesia. Seven-year-olds were shown smoking. So I’m glad they’re working on this issue.

    This won’t matter much. Most Indonesian males smoke since they’re ~15 and just raising the limits won’t work.

        What’s better is to do more tangible effort to curb underage smoking and limit public places where you can smoke. In Indonesia basically you can smoke anywhere and the areas specified is the ones where you cannot smoke.

        Most places doesn’t even enforce the limit as the kids usually can say they’re buying for their dads and the people working at the store isn’t paid enough to care. Elementary age kids are also bragging that they’ve been smoking too.

        Don’t get me started on the online gambling too.
