Data from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows that 70.23% of young children in Indonesia in 2023 lived with household members who smoke.

This condition is most prevalent among children under one year old, with 72.25% of children in this age group living with smokers.

The proportion is 70.14% for children aged 1-4 years and 69.62% for children aged 5-6 years who live with smokers.

Dr. Nastiti Kaswandani, a pediatrician at RSCM Central Jakarta, stated that children living with smokers are at a higher risk of exposure to secondhand smoke, which can cause respiratory problems.

“Children living with smokers are four times more likely to be hospitalized for respiratory problems compared to children who do not live with smokers,” said Nastiti, as reported by Antara on Thursday (4/4/2023).

She added that even if household members claim they never smoke in front of children, particles from cigarette smoke can still cling to tables, sofas, and walls.
