If the government does not control the sale of cigarettes in Indonesia, the Indonesian people will never be apart from the vicious cycle that further impoverish them. Currently in Indonesia there are more than 60 million smokers and 70 percent of whom come from middle to lower economic groups.
"There is a vicious circle between smoking-poverty-and ignorance-malautrisi. The children also become victims. Smoking is the gate of the destruction of the nation," said former Health Minister Prof. Farid Anfasa Moeloek at the launch of a book entitled Tobacco: Global Threats in Jakarta, Tuesday ( 30 / 6).
The book is translated from the works of John Crofton and David Simpson was edited by Hasan Muherman, lung specialists. John Crofton is the tutors of Muherman Hasan for 20 years for efforts to combat tuberculosis.
Cigarette consumption in Indonesia is now ranked the third world, after China and India. Initially Indonesia number five. No wonder more than 60 million people spend their money to buy cigarettes. They spend an average of 11 cigarettes per day.
Nationally, monthly elanja for cigarette smokers in the family ranks second largest (9 percent) after rice (12 percent).
Even more alarming, of the National Economic and Social Survey (SUSENAS) 2006, the group proved to have a proportion of poor families spending more cigarettes (12 percent) than the richest group of only 7 percent.
More concrete data showed that monthly cigarette expenditure on poor families in 2006 equivalent to 15 times the cost of education and nine times the cost of healthcare. Compared with berhgizi food expenditures, the amount equivalent to 17 times the expenditure to buy the meat, twice to buy fish and five times more to buy milk and eggs, said Tulus Abadi, a member of the Board Daily Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI).
Survey in 1999-2003 on more than 175,000 poor families in urban areas in Indonesia showed that three of the four heads of households (78.8 percent) were active smokers. Weekly shopping to buy cigarettes was ranked highest (22 percent), much larger than for the expenditure of staple foods rice that only 19 percent, while spending only three percent for eggs and fish, only four percent.
Smoking behavior of household heads is closely linked to malnutrition, ie the prevalence of children is very thin, low weight, and very short children. Shopping cigarettes has shifted the need for nutritious food for growth and development of toddlers.
Similar study in 2000-2003 on more than 360,000 poor households in urban and rural areas proved, and under-five infant mortality was higher in families whose parents smoke than non-smokers, said Tulus Abadi.
