He said he can’t buy milk or eggs because it did not have money, but in his hands tucked into a cigarette. Many poor people are trying to forget his poverty with smoking. And poor people do not realize that smoking can keep it up to seven generations of poor.
In the countryside, smoking has become the daily menu in addition to basic food and coffee are always there. According to demographic survey agency Faculty of Economics, University of Indonesia, the amount of expenditure on cigarettes is USD $ 3545 per day or Rp 106,350 per month. This is equivalent to 26 percent of tobacco farm laborers income per month. In other words, a quarter of low labor costs to be burned.
Indonesia is the most affordable state cigarette prices compared to other countries. The proportion of household expenditure is Indonesia's first grain and the second is the tobacco. Meanwhile, milk, eggs and other nutritious foods in order to so.
Cigarettes beat the nutritional needs of poor households. Try each one of us has thought 'if you do not smoke would not have died more quickly'
The price of a pack of cigarettes brands equal to half kg of eggs, 2 kg of rice, 1 liter of cooking oil and others. So in fact the poor can buy nutritious foods if they are not buying cigarettes.
So until there's a poor person who smokes will remain poor derivative 7. First he was himself poor, can not send their kids, can not provide nutritious food, and her son so stupid, can not get a job, and then produce such generation onwards till seven generations.Just so you know, until the age of 12 years, a child will imitate and imitate all the parents behavior. So if parents model smoking behavior, behavior that would be embedded in the child's brain and eventually imitated by him.
Therefore to increase tobacco excise tax by 15 percent to 44 percent of retail price on January 1, 2010, is expected to poor families and children are not going to buy cigarettes and poisoned by the cigarettes.
Let the rich and elderly parents who smoke. Let those who contribute income and wealth for the country. It's not fair if the poor and the children should spend money on cigarettes that could be bought for other needs more useful. Parents are okay if you want to smoke because their generation will be lost in a moment, but if the kids are smoking, Indonesia may have lost generation.
