Justifiably, some individuals, who have witnessed the video, have expressed their fury and have recommended the incarceration of Ardi Rizal’s parents. However, some entities in the world of blogs have shockingly referred to the child as a manifestation of fashionableness.
Ardi Rizal’s parents have declared that Ardi, who was initially supplied a puff when he was 1 ½ years old, outbursts if he is not provided with a cigarette. Mohammad Rizal, Ardi’s father, has mentioned that Ardi appears robust to him and that he is unworried by Ardi’s health.
Indonesia, a Muslim-majority nation, has undergone a distressing trend lately. In accordance with information from the Central Statistics Agency, a bothersome 25% of Indonesian kids in the age group of 3-15 have endeavored to utilize cigarettes and approximately 3.2% are addicted to smoking.
Indonesian advocates dedicated to the cause of child heath, have mentioned that second hand smoke only augments the danger to the physical constitution of children.
Seto Mulyadi, the chairperson on the Indonesian child protection commission, has fervently enunciated that the Indonesian legislature must ratify an effective law to protect and preserve the health of Indonesian kids and of passive smokers. Mulyadi has declared that the intensification of smoking-related advertising in the country by powerful cigarette makers and smoking parents has made more Indonesian children susceptible to the evilness of smoking.
The Indonesian government had labeled smoking as addictive in 2009. An Indonesian alliance devoted to reducing the smoking menace has now recommended that smoking in certain public zones be criminalized and that there be gigantic health cautions on cigarette packages.
Benny Wahyudi, a bureaucrat of the Indonesian government, has asserted that the government has certain tactics to restrict the amount of Indonesian smokers, one of which is to cut the manufacturing of cigarettes from 245 billion to 240 million.

in indo, cigarettes are as low as USD 1. And guess what, most of these Indo cigarette brands, Dji Sam Soe, Sampoerna, Djarum, LA Lights etc have all been either started or run by Chinese
Almost all the local malays that I come across smoke. So it's really great business here.
