The highest percentage of people aged five and over who smoked daily in the last month, by age group, was among the 35-39 age group, reaching 32.73 percent. This was followed by the 30-34 age group at 32.34 percent. Interestingly, and of concern, the percentage remains quite high among the population aged over 60, at 23.31 percent.

Indonesian people have been introduced to cigarettes from a young age. Some children have been exposed to tobacco smoke from as young as five years old. Family habits and environments where smoking is prevalent have led to early exposure. Lack of health knowledge regarding the harmful effects of smoking, coupled with high rates of addiction, makes it difficult for many to quit smoking.

Yet, the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that smoking is one of the biggest killers. Cigarette consumption kills one person every 10 seconds. The impact of smoking is extremely harmful to the body because a single cigarette contains various chemicals, including nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide.
