Indonesia Report, 2014
Message
Indonesia has taken several tobacco control initiatives
at national and subnational levels. Indonesia has
implemented graphic health warning on cigarette
packages. Ban on smoking in public places and
tobacco advertisements has been implemented
by several local governments. Indonesia has been
monitoring tobacco control among adults through
Global Adult Tobacco Survey. Implementation of the
Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) at the national
level in 2014 demonstrates the government’s commitment to protecting
youth from the health effects of tobacco use.
The findings of the Indonesia Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS)
2014 raise alarm about the high prevalence of tobacco use among youth
aged 13–15 years in Indonesia. This trend calls for stricter enforcement
of tobacco control laws.
The findings of the GYTS show that three out of five students were
exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS) in homes and public places. While
there are good initiatives at the subnational level to protect people from
SHS, there is a need for strong initiatives to be taken countrywide against
SHS.
Nearly two thirds of youth have easy access to tobacco products. The
Ministry of Health together with other stakeholders must take the lead
to minimize access to and availability of tobacco products among youth.
GYTS findings reveal that over 60% of students were exposed to direct
advertising on electronic media, and nearly 10% of students to indirect
advertisement. The Government of Indonesia needs to make concerted
efforts for the strict enforcement of a ban on tobacco advertisements and
thereby minimize their impact on youth. The government also needs to
take stronger action against the tobacco industry and prevent tobacco
companies from distributing free samples of tobacco products including
objects with brand logos of their products.

According to the study, over 88% of smokers want to quit smoking
and many have attempted to quit, but in the absence of tobacco cessation
support, the results have been negligible. The government must urgently
establish tobacco cessation facilities at all levels to support such efforts.
This report provides an opportunity to review the effects of public
health policies and tobacco control interventions among youth in
Indonesia. WHO commends and supports the efforts of the Government
of Indonesia in its effort to protect both adults and youth from the scourge
of tobacco use.

Indonesia Report, 2014
Foreword
The Ministry of Health, Republic of Indonesia has
the pleasure and honour to release the results of
the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) 2014.
This survey marks the first attempt made to collect
a national representative sample of around 5900
students from across the country, and it provides
the national estimates of tobacco use trends among
the Indonesian school children studying from grade
7–9, aged 13–15 years, during the survey period.
The current report shows that one out of five students is a current
user of tobacco. This trend has continued since we conducted the last
survey in 2009. Almost two-thirds of them are also exposed to second-
hand smoke at home or outside; and more than two thirds have noticed
someone smoking inside the schools.
These findings are clearly alarming. The persistently high trends of
tobacco use among children aged 13–15 years, may result in the rising
trends in adolescents as those children grow up. In addition, exposure
to second-hand smoke, including smoking by adults at schools poses a
serious concern to us all. The findings and interpretations suggest the
need for proactive and sustained tobacco control efforts by a wide variety
of sectors of the government.
The national tobacco control roadmap (Minister of Health Decree
No.40 Year 2013) has targeted 1% decrease of youth smoking prevalence

per year during 2015–2019. The Ministry of Health also intends to intensify
the drive to decrease youth smoking prevalence beyond 2020.
The current report is crucial for planning and implementing tobacco
control strategies, not only for the youth, but for all age groups as well.
The Ministry of Health remains committed to taking stronger measures to
ensure successful tobacco control strategies, and expanding its strategic
outreach to other sectors, to reverse tobacco use trends in our young
generation.
This survey is a collaborative activity of the National Institute of
Health Research and Development, Ministry of Health, and international
organizations including CDC Foundation and US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, Tobacco Free Initiative of WHO Headquarters,
Regional Office for South-East Asia and Country Office for Indonesia --- to
all of whom I would like to express my gratitude and high appreciation.
Finally, I do hope that this document will take us a long way towards
controlling tobacco use, enabling people to live healthier and happier
lives without tobacco.

Indonesia Report, 2014
Executive summary
The Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) Indonesia, 2014, is a national
representative school-based survey of students in the age group of 13–15
years, irrespective of classes/grades. The GYTS uses a global standardized
methodology for constructing the sample frame, selecting schools and
classes, and processing data. It is intended to enhance the capacity
of countries to design, implement and evaluate tobacco control and
prevention measures.
The survey used a two-stage sample design, with schools selected
proportional to their enrolement size. In the first stage, 75 schools were
selected. The classrooms within selected schools were chosen randomly
and all students in selected classes were eligible to participate in the survey.
The survey used a standard global core questionnaire to elicit information
on tobacco use, cessation, secondhand smoke, access and availability,
exposure to anti-tobacco information, awareness and receptivity to
tobacco marketing, knowledge and attitudes.
The GYTS was conducted by the National Institute of Health Research
and Development (NIHRD), Ministry of Health. Technical assistance was
provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States
Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC). Financial support for
the survey was provided by the WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia.
The findings of the survey are given below.
Tobacco use: In Indonesia, 36.2% of boys and 4.3% of girls (comprising
20.3% of all students) currently use tobacco in smoked and/or smokeless
form. Among current tobacco users, 18.3% consume cigarettes. Overall,
35.6% smoke one stick per day, whereas more than half of girls (58.3%)
smoke less than one cigarette per day. The age at initiation into cigarette
smoking of 43.2% of those who have ever smoked a cigarette is 12 to
13 years.
Cessation: Among current smokers, 81.8% confessed that they had
tried to stop smoking in the past 12 months. Those who wanted to stop

smoking comprised 88.2%, but only 24.0% had ever received help/advice
from a programme or professional to stop smoking.
Secondhand smoke: Overall, almost three out of five students (57.3%)
were exposed to smoke in their homes and 60.1% were exposed to
secondhand smoke in enclosed public places. Students who thought that
smoking should be banned in all outdoor public places comprised 80.9%,
whereas 89.4% wanted it to be banned inside enclosed public places as
well. 69% of students claimed to have seen someone smoking inside the
school building or outside on school property.
Access and availability: Roughly three out of five (58.2%) students who
currently smoked cigarettes usually purchased their cigarettes in stores/
shops. The percentage of students who were not refused purchase of
cigarettes because they were minors was 64.5%.
Exposure to anti-tobacco information: Among current smokers, 71.3%
of those who noticed health warnings thought about quitting smoking
because of such warnings on cigarette packages, while 50.9% of those
who never smoked thought about not starting smoking because of the
health warnings on cigarette packages.
Awareness and receptivity to tobacco marketing: Overall, 9.0%
of students owned an object with a cigarette brand logo on it, while
7.9% of students were offered free cigarettes by a tobacco company
representative.
Knowledge and attitudes: More than one third of the students (35.5%)
thought that it is difficult to quit once someone starts smoking tobacco,
while 72.5% thought that other people’s tobacco smoking was harmful
to them.
Government and other stakeholders of tobacco control should come up
with comprehensive tobacco control policy and implement it effectively.
Taxation on tobacco products should be increased so that it becomes
unaffordable to youth.

1. Introduction
Tobacco use is the leading global cause of preventable death. The World
Health Organization (WHO) attributes nearly 6 million deaths a year to
tobacco. This figure is expected to rise to more than 8 million deaths a
year by 2030. Most people who use tobacco begin using it before the
age of 18 years.
The Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) was developed by the
Tobacco Free Initiative (TFI), WHO and the Office on Smoking and Health
(OSH) of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), in collaboration with a range of countries representing the
six WHO regions. It collects comprehensive tobacco prevention and
control information on youth. The GYTS provides a global standard to
systematically monitor tobacco use among youth and track key tobacco
control indicators. The GYTS is a nationally representative school-based
survey of students 13–15 years of age, which uses a consistent and
standard protocol across countries. It is intended to generate comparable
data within and across countries.
1.1 Country demographics
Indonesia is a Member State of the WHO South-East Asia Region and is
considered a low–middle-income country. According to the 2010 national
census, the population of Indonesia was 237.6 million, with 58% living on
the island of Java, the world’s most populous island. The annual national
population growth rate of Indonesia between 2000 and 2010 was 1.49%.
According to projections by the United Nations (UN) with regard to the
future absolute population, Indonesia is expected to have a population
that exceeds 250 million inhabitants by 2015, 270 million by 2025, 285
million by 2035 and 290 million by 2045.
Indonesia is an archipelagic island country, lying between the Indian
Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, extending 5120 km (3181 miles) from east
to west, and 1760 km (1094 miles) from north to south. It encompasses
an estimated 17 508 islands, of which only 6000 are inhabited. Indonesia’s

total land area is 1 919 317 square kilometer (741 052 square miles).
Included in Indonesia’s total territory is another 93 000 square kilometer
(35 908 square miles) of island seas (straits, bays and other bodies of
water).
1.2 WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco
Control and MPOWER
In response to the globalization of the tobacco epidemic, the 191 Member
States of WHO unanimously adopted the WHO Framework Convention on
Tobacco Control (FCTC) at the Fifty-sixth World Health Assembly in May
2003. The FCTC is the world’s first public health treaty on tobacco control.
It is the driving force behind, and blueprint for, the global response to the
pandemic of tobacco-induced deaths and diseases. The treaty embodies a
coordinated, effective and urgent action plan to curb tobacco consumption
and lays out cost–effective tobacco control strategies for public policies,
such as banning direct and indirect tobacco advertising, increasing tobacco
taxes and prices, promoting smoke-free public places and workplaces,
displaying prominent health messages on tobacco packages, and tobacco
surveillance, research and exchange of information.
To help countries fulfil WHO FCTC obligations, WHO introduced
MPOWER in 2008, a technical package of six evidence-based tobacco
control measures that are proven to reduce tobacco use and save lives:
tMonitor tobacco use and prevention policies
tProtect people from tobacco smoke
tOffer help to quit tobacco use
tWarn about the dangers of tobacco
tEnforce bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship
tRaise taxes on tobacco
The GYTS supports WHO MPOWER by monitoring country-specific data
on key tobacco indicators, including prevalence, knowledge and behaviour.

1.3 Purpose and rationale
The GYTS enhances countries’ capacity to monitor tobacco consumption
and initiation of tobacco use among youth, guides national tobacco
prevention and control programmes, and facilitates comparison of
tobacco-related data at the national, regional and global levels. Results
from the GYTS are also useful for documenting the changes in different
variables of tobacco control measures in order to monitor implementation
of different provisions of the tobacco control law and relevant Articles
of the WHO FCTC.
The rationale for Indonesia’s participation in the GYTS includes the
following:
tIndonesia is the fifth-largest producer of tobacco leaf.
tBased on the National Baseline Health Research, the prevalence of
smoking among Indonesians aged 15 years and above increased from
34.2% in 2007 to 34.7% in 2010, and to 36.3% in 2013.
tBased on the National Baseline Health Research 2013, the percentages
initiating and using tobacco in each age group are: 5–9 years – 0.7%;
10–14 years – 9.5%; 15–19 years – 50.3%; 20–24 years – 26.7%;
25–29 years – 7.6%; >30 years – 5.2%.
tA study by the World Bank and WHO in 2005 found that low-income
households spent 7.2% of their income on tobacco.
tBased on the National Baseline Health Research 2013, an average of
12.3 cigarettes sticks are consumed per person per day at an average
price of Rp 600.00 (US$ 0.04) per stick.
tTotal medical expenditure on selected major diseases (629 017
hospitalized cases) attributed to tobacco use in 2010 was Rp 1.85
trillion; these included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary
heart disease, selected neoplasms/cancers and perinatal disorders.
tThere have been no studies on youth tobacco use at the national level.

1.4 Current state of policy
Indonesia is the only country in the WHO South-East Asia Region that has
not signed the FCTC. However, Indonesia is committed to implementing
the MPOWER policy package (Sixty-first Regional Committee resolution).
Government Regulation No 81/1999 on Tobacco Control was issued
as an implementation document for tobacco control measures stated
in the 1992 Indonesian Health Act. The articles include regulations on
advertisements, health warning labels, restrictions on tar and nicotine
levels, public disclosure of cigarette content, penalties and enforcement,
regulatory authority, public participation and provisions for a smoke-
free environment. This regulation, however, did not address issues of
economics, liability, sale to minors and sponsorships.
Government Regulation No 38/2000 on Tobacco Control basically
revised Regulation No 81/1999 on tobacco advertisements, permitting
advertisements in the electronic media in addition to printed and outdoor
media, and prolonging the deadline for industries to comply with new
regulations by 5–7 years, depending on the type of industry. In 2003, the
government issued Regulation No 19/2003, which replaced Regulation No
38/2000 and included aspects related to the size and types of messages
in health warning labels, time restrictions for advertising in the electronic
media, and testing of tar and nicotine levels.
Indonesian Health Law No 36/2009 states that tobacco and tobacco
products are considered to be addictive substances, and will be regulated
to protect the health of the individual, family, community as well as the
environment. Besides, more than 20 local governments (province, district
and city) have enacted local laws on smoke-free environments.
In 2014, Indonesia issued government regulations on specific textual
and pictorial health warnings required to be displayed on every tobacco
advertisement and on packets of all smoked tobacco products; however,
it has been implemented on cigarette packets only. Smokeless tobacco
products are not covered by the law.
The Indonesian Government has developed smoke-free policies that
cover all public areas and workplaces to support the cessation programme.

Moreover, in many cities and districts, specific regulations on smoke-free
areas have been officially issued.
Secondhand smoke can be found anywhere, even in places where
smoking is strictly prohibited, such as schools, hospitals and public
transport. This is despite the ordinance enacted by the government on
smoke-free areas.
The government has promulgated the Tobacco Control Act and the
Ministry of Health’s Regulation on Tobacco Control, which include the
aspect of controlling advertisements, promotion activities and sponsorships
of tobacco products. This limitation applies to the print and electronic
mass media.
1.5 Other tobacco surveys
The GYTS was conducted in Indonesia in 2003, 2006 and 2009 at the
subnational level. In addition to the GYTS, the Global Adult Tobacco
Survey, Indonesia, was conducted in 2011.

2. Methodology
2.1 Questionnaire
The GYTS questionnaire contained 61 multiple-choice questions. The survey
included 43 questions from the GYTS Standard Core Questionnaire and
18 selected optional questions. The final questionnaire was translated
into Indonesian and translated back into English to check for accuracy.
The 2014 Indonesia questionnaire is provided in Annex 1.
2.2 Sampling design
The GYTS was a school-based survey that employed a two-stage cluster
sample design to produce a nationally representative sample of students
in grades 7, 8 and 9. The sampling frame consisted of all school types
that had grades 7, 8 and 9. In the first stage, schools were selected with
a probability proportional to school enrollment size. The second sampling
stage consisted of systematic equal probability sampling (with a random
start) of classes from each school selected during the first stage. Seventy-
two schools, 208 classes and 5986 students participated in the GYTS.
2.3 Data collection
Data collection took place from 21 September 2013 to 20 June 2014,
and was supported by 11 researchers.
Survey procedures were designed to protect the students’ privacy by
allowing for anonymous and voluntary participation. The questionnaire
was self-administered in the classroom. Students recorded their responses
directly on an answer sheet that could be scanned by a computer.
2.4 Data analysis
A weighting factor was applied to each student record to adjust for
probability of selection, nonresponse and poststratification adjustment
to population estimates. SUDAAN, a software package for statistical

analysis of complex survey data, was used to calculate weighted prevalence
estimates and standard errors (SEs) of the estimates (95% confidence
intervals [CI] were calculated from the SEs). Frequency tables were
developed for the survey questions that were considered key tobacco
control indicators from the GYTS. Indicators were in accordance with the
WHO FCTC and MPOWER technical package.
Table 1 provides information on the sample size and response rate.
The GYTS Indonesia 2014 was conducted in 72 schools. A total of 5986
eligible students in grades 7–9 completed the survey, of which 4313 were
aged 13–15 years (2029 boys, 2284 girls). The school response rate was
100%, the class response rate was 98.1% and the student response rate
was 91%. The overall response rate was 89.3%.

3. Results
3.1 Tobacco use
For the 2014 GYTS, the information on tobacco use consisted of the use
of smoked and smokeless tobacco products. Smoked tobacco products
include cigarettes, hand-rolled cigarettes and kretek (clove cigarettes),
among others.
In Indonesia, 32.1% of students had ever used any smoked tobacco
product. By gender, boys were more likely than girls to ever use any
tobacco product. The current use of any tobacco product by youth was
20.3%, of which 19.4% were current tobacco smokers and 2.1% were
current smokeless tobacco users. In addition, 8.8% indicated that they
were susceptible to start smoking in future.
The detailed break-up of tobacco use among the target age group of
13–15-year-olds is given in Table 2. Details of daily cigarette consumption
are given in Table 3.

3.5 Tobacco marketing
The ban on advertisements of tobacco products has, in a limited way,
implications for the marketing strategy of the tobacco industry. The
tobacco industry is using various creative marketing tactics to attract
young people.
Half of the students who participated in this survey noticed tobacco
advertisements or promotions at points of sale; 58.2% noticed someone
using tobacco on television, videos or movies; and 62.7% noticed someone
using tobacco among those who watched television, videos, or movies in
the past 30 days (Table 14).

4. Discussion
4.1 Discussion of survey findings
Tobacco use
The status of tobacco use among students was as follows:
tOne in five students (20.3%) were tobacco users (36.2% of boys and
4.3% of girls).
tAmong all students who were currently tobacco smokers (19.4%),
18.3% were cigarette smokers. Of them, 35.6% smoked one cigarette
stick per day. Among girls, 58.3% smoked less than one cigarette
per day.
tAmong non-cigarettes smokers, 43.2% started smoking at 12–13
years of age.
Cessation
tAs many as 81.8% of current smokers had tried to stop smoking in
the past 12 months. The percentage of students who wanted to stop
smoking was as high as 88.2%; however, only 24.0% had ever received
help/advice from a programme or professional to stop smoking.
In Indonesia, almost every school has at least one assigned preceptor.
Ideally, this preceptor, a special administration staff, or an external person
(not part of the school staff) could be assigned with the special job of a
counsellor. Such a person would assist students and act as a mediator in
any kind of problem that affects the student’s activities in school, such
as personal life, social life, academics, education, etc.
School personnel should be trained in tobacco cessation so that they
may provide support to the students within the school. In addition, school
personnel should be trained in tobacco control so that they may make their
schools tobacco free and apply comprehensive tobacco control policies
within their jurisdiction. There is an urgent need to develop a special

training and assistance package for school personnel, which is specifically
designed for students’ tobacco control programme. This programme
can also involve health institutions such as puskesmas (primary health
centres), hospitals and health offices, in collaboration with the Education
and Health Ministries.
Secondhand smoke
Secondhand smoke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. It has been
associated with serious health problems in both children and adults. To
minimize the adverse effects on tobacco use, the Indonesian Government
issued Law No. 36 in 2009, which requires local governments (province,
district and city) to enact laws on smoke-free areas.
Smoke-free areas cover public places such as health facilities, offices,
schools, children’s playgrounds, public transportation and places of
worship. However, to date, this law has not been fully enforced.
The GYTS Indonesia 2014 shows that:
tmore than half of students (57.3%) are exposed to tobacco smoke
in their homes;
tapproximately six out of 10 students (60.1%) are exposed to tobacco
smoke in enclosed public places and 63.9% students are exposed to
tobacco smoke in outdoor public places;
tthe percentage of students who saw someone smoking inside the
school building or outside on school property was 69%.
These findings prove that the regulation on smoke-free areas is not
being implemented effectively. Students are exposed to secondhand
smoke in all places, whether at home or in school. These areas where
they spend the maximum time also provide no guarantee of being safe
from the harmful effects of tobacco.
The large number of tobacco users significantly affects the amount of
secondhand smoke at public places. Moreover, in the absence of strict law
enforcement, there is no protection from secondhand smoke for vulnerable
groups such as babies, children, pregnant mothers and other sick people.

Indonesia Report, 2014
In fact, students in Indonesia are not only affected by the impact
of secondhand smoke but are also threatened by the smoking habit, as
they see adults who smoke in their daily surroundings. In many societies,
smoking is part of the culture.
Access and availability
Government regulation No. 109 of 2012 on the “Control of materials
that contain addictive substances in tobacco products in the interests of
health” was not being fully complied. There is much interference by the
tobacco industry. One of the articles in this regulation is the prohibition
on the sale of tobacco products to children (under 18 years of age) and
pregnant mothers.
Currently, these protected groups (children and pregnant mothers)
can easily buy cigarettes from sellers (street vendors, small shops around
their neighbourhood, stalls, stores and some mini-markets). Buying a
cigarette is as easy as buying candy. In addition to cigarette packs, street
vendors, stalls or small stores also sell loose cigarettes, i.e. as a single stick
or a couple of sticks.
tOverall, more than half the students (58.2%) who currently smoke
cigarettes usually purchase their cigarettes from stores or shops.
tThe percentage of students who bought cigarettes and were not
refused purchase of cigarettes because of their age was as high as
64.5%.
Exposure to anti-tobacco information
The great pressure exerted by the tobacco industry for years has not been
able to deter activists and governments from developing programmes,
activities and policies on tobacco control. Even though the Indonesian
Government has not ratified the FCTC until now, many regulations have
been issued to limit the harmful effects of tobacco use, such as text and
pictorial health warnings on cigarette packages (Government Regulation
No. 18 of 2003, Law No. 36 of 2009, Article 114; Government Regulation
No. 109 of 2012, Article 61).

Indonesia Report, 2014
The GYTS 2014 found that 71.3% of current smokers noticed health
warnings on cigarette packages during the past 30 days and thought
about quitting smoking because of these warnings. Approximately half
of those who never smoked (50.9%) thought of not starting smoking
because of health warnings on cigarette packages.
Awareness and receptivity to tobacco marketing
tOverall, 9% of students owned an object with a tobacco brand logo
on it.
tOverall, 7.9% of students were offered free tobacco products by a
tobacco company representative.
These findings show that there are still violations by cigarette
companies of the ban on using any logo or brand of tobacco product
on merchandise in the form of T-shirts, caps, mugs, bags, books, etc.
These companies are also banned from giving out free tobacco products
especially to students, as part of their marketing strategy.
Knowledge and attitudes
tMore than one third of students (35.5%) definitely thought that it is
difficult to quit once someone starts smoking tobacco.
tAs many as 72.5% of students definitely thought that other people’s
tobacco smoking was harmful to them.
4.2 Relevance to the FCTC
The results of the GYTS are critical for gauging progress towards the
WHO FCTC, and implementation and uptake of the MPOWER strategy.
Indonesia’s participation in the GYTS addresses the first element
of MPOWER (Monitor tobacco use and prevention policies) for youth,
and GYTS asks students a range of questions that cover many of the
remaining elements of MPOWER. The resulting data are critical for gauging
Indonesia’s progress towards fully implementing the elements of MPOWER
among its youth. The information provided by the GYTS can address
several provisions of the FCTC that relate to the role of school personnel
and comprehensive school tobacco control policies.

Indonesia Report, 2014
This section highlights key data points within the context of the
MPOWER elements:
tProtect people from tobacco smoke: The GYTS data show that 63.9%
of students are around when others smoke outside their home and
57.3% live in homes where others smoke in their presence.
tOffer help to quit tobacco use: Results from the GYTS show that
students who currently smoke are interested in quitting. Of students
who currently smoke:
ρ88.2% of students wanted to stop smoking;
ρ81.8% tried to stop smoking in the past 12 months;
ρ24.0% had never received help/advice from a programme or
professional to stop smoking.
tWarn about the dangers of tobacco: In the past 12 months, 69.3%
of students were taught in class about the dangers of tobacco use.
tEnforce bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship:
The GYTS data show that 70.1% of students saw anti-smoking media
messages in the past 30 days and 58.2% saw someone using tobacco
on television, videos or movies. Further, 9% of students had an object
with a cigarette brand logo and 7.9% of students were offered a free
tobacco product by a tobacco company representative.
tRaise taxes on tobacco products: The cost of cigarettes and kreteks
should be raised so that it becomes unaffordable for adolescents and
youth.
The GYTS methodology provides an excellent framework for
monitoring and guiding the implementation of school tobacco control
programmes, while making it compliant with the requirements of the
WHO FCTC. The results of this survey will be disseminated broadly, and
ideally used to adopt and implement effective legislative measures for
preventing and reducing tobacco consumption, nicotine addiction and
exposure to tobacco smoke.

4.3 Relevance to the country
This section summarizes the findings from the GYTS and how they are
specifically applicable to Indonesia:
tMany youth report wanting to quit tobacco use in Indonesia, but
teachers are not adequately trained to prevent tobacco use among
their students, and cessation services are limited.
tThe susceptibility to begin smoking within the next year is high among
both boys and girls, and there are few laws prohibiting the use of
tobacco on school campuses.
tThe data suggest an early age of initiation of cigarette use among
Indonesian adolescents. Tobacco control education therefore needs to
start at a very young age. However, coverage of tobacco-related issues
and prevention is currently limited in the formal school curriculum.
tThe majority of youth in Indonesia report exposure to secondhand
smoke at multiple venues. Given that there is no safe level of exposure
to secondhand smoke, policies that will protect youth from possible
exposure are needed.
tIndonesian adolescents are faced with the double burden of cigarette
use and the use of other forms of tobacco products, such as chewing
tobacco, snuff, etc.
tDespite the existence of information on tobacco control, a significant
information gap exists on tobacco use in Indonesia, specifically in the
cases of women, youth and adolescents.
tStudents in Indonesia are still reporting exposure to pro-smoking
media campaigns. Controlling this exposure has been shown to reduce
youth initiation.

5. Recommendations
Based on the most pressing GYTS findings, Indonesia should consider
rapidly implementing expanded and comprehensive tobacco control
measures. Such action will save lives, reduce illnesses, and help reduce
the economic burden associated with tobacco-related illnesses and lost
productivity. The following proposed evidence-based interventions may
be included.
tA significant number of students were exposed to tobacco smoke
at home and in public places, and 89.4% of students believed that
smoking in enclosed public places should be banned. There is a need
to pass laws that ban tobacco smoking in public places, and if such
laws have already been passed, to effectively enforce them.
tMany students who smoked expressed the desire to quit smoking
(88.2%) and many had even attempted to quit (81.8%). With the
proper assistance and tools, these students could stop smoking forever.
Nongovernmental organizations could play a vital role as a resource
for youth interested in quitting.
tMany youth were exposed to pro-cigarette advertising (62.7%) on
television and were provided free cigarettes by tobacco company
representatives (7.9%). There is an urgent need to more strictly
enforce the existing law banning all forms of advertisement of tobacco
products and paraphernalia in Indonesia.
tTo maintain a current understanding of tobacco use and other key
indicators among youth, and to gauge trends in the uptake and
implementation of the WHO FCTC and MPOWER, this survey should
be undertaken at least once every four years.
tA comprehensive health promotion strategy, and effective and
comprehensive tobacco cessation programmes need to be
implemented to prevent tobacco use and assist school personnel and
the general community in quitting.
tSchool rules and policies should be framed for the prevention and
control of tobacco use.

The Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) has been conducted among third-year dental students in schools in forty-four countries, the Gaza Strip/West Bank, and three cities (Baghdad, Rio de Janeiro, and Havana) (all called "sites" in this article). In more than half the sites, over 20 percent of the students currently smoked cigarettes, with males having higher rates than females in thirty sites. Over 60 percent of students reported having been exposed to secondhand smoke in public places in thirty-seven of forty-eight sites. The majority of students recognized that they are role models in society and believed they should receive training on counseling patients to quit using tobacco, but few reported receiving formal training. Tobacco control efforts must discourage tobacco use among dentists, promote smoke-free workplaces, and implement programs that train dentists in effective cessation-counseling techniques.

GHPSS is a school-based survey that collects self-administered data from students in regular classroom settings. GHPSS produces representative data at the national or city level in each country. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of tobacco use, exposure to secondhand smoke, and cessation counseling among medical students using the GHPSS data. The Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) was conducted among 3rd year medical students in 47 countries and the Gaza Strip/West Bank from 2005-2008 to determine the prevalence of tobacco use and amount of formal training in cessation counseling. In 26 of the 48 sites, over 20% of the students currently smoked cigarettes, with males having higher rates than females in 37 sites. Over 70% of students reported having been exposed to secondhand smoke in public places in 29 of 48 sites. The majority of students recognized that they are role models in society (over 80% in 42 of 48 sites), believed they should receive training on counseling patients to quit using tobacco (over 80% in 41 of 48 sites), but few reported receiving formal training (less than 40% in 46 of 48 sites). Tobacco control efforts must discourage tobacco use among health professionals, promote smoke free workplaces, and implement programs that train medical students in effective cessation-counseling techniques.
