INDONESIA ON TRACK TO
WORLD’S HIGHEST SMOKING RATES
Indonesia already has the world’s highest smoking
prevalence among males, as 67.4 percent of males
over 15 years old smoke.
The cost of treating tobacco-related diseases in the
country is currently estimated to reach Rp 11 trillion
per year, 0.29 percent of the country’s gross
domestic product (GDP).
Smoking in Indonesia is common, as there are
approximately 57 million smokers in Indonesia.
88% of Indonesia smokers use clove-flavoured kreteks.
Indonesia is the fifth largest tobacco market in the world.
Major tobacco companies dominating the market in Indonesia
include Gudang Garam, Sampoerna (Philip Morris
International), Djarum, Bentoel Group (British American Tobacco) and
Nojorono Tobacco International.
The WHO has ranked Indonesia third in the world for total number of
smokers.
The US, meanwhile, saw its smoking rates hit an
all-time low in 2014, with only 16.8 percent of
adults smoking, after it passed the tobacco
control act into law in 2009. The law also bans
sales of cigarettes to minors and tobacco-brand
sponsorship of sports and entertainment events
or other social and cultural occasions.

Conversely, the Indonesian government has only

made minor efforts to tone down tobacco
campaigns. Since 2015, it has banned tobacco
advertising in mass media, on public
transportation and in all public places. It also
bans any form of tobacco advertising aimed at
minors.
 HARMFUL EFFECTS AND REGULATIONS
Tobacco smoking in Indonesia is said to claim 300,000 lives every year.
Tax exemptions in the country provide an incentive to the manufacturers to advertise
the sale of cigarettes as compared to other countries in the region, in spite of
the World Bank suggesting higher tax rates. As a result, tobacco manufacturers
almost run cigarette advertisements for free.
So much so, that even a two-year-old child picked up the habit of smoking two packs
of cigarettes a day in his fishing village, where every one smokes.

However, press reports indicate that the child has been placed in rehabilitation by
keeping him in a different environment under the care of a psychologist, and as a
result the child has given up smoking.
