TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Widyastuti Soerojo, Head of the Tobacco Control Department and Head of the Indonesian Public Health Expert Association (IAKMI), said that Indonesia has the highest number of teen smokers in South East Asia. In fact, Widyastuti claimed that the number continues to increase.

"It has raised our concerns that the cigarette industry begins targeting teenagers," said Widyastuti on Tuesday, June 9, 2015.

Widyastuti said that from 2007 to 2010, the number of smokers from the age of 13 to 15 had increased by 150 percent. In 2010, the number reached up to 3.9 million people. Meanwhile, in 2009, around 78.1 percent of Indonesian teenagers have been exposed to cigarette smoke.

Hakim Sorimuda Pohan from the National Commission of Indonesian Tobacco Control, said that the increasing number of teen smokers is the result of cigarette advertising. "As many as 70 percent of teen smokers began to smoke after watching the ads," said Hakim.
