The second-hand smoke causes heart disease, lung cancer, nasal sinus cancer, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), asthma and middle ear infections in children and various other respiratory illnesses. Second-hand smoke exposure is also causally associated with stroke, low birth-weight, spontaneous abortion, negative effects on the development of cognition and behaviour, exacerbation of cystic fibrosis and cervical cancer
Please sign this petition, you're demanding your representatives to enact a law to ban smoking in all public places, including offices, public transportations, restaurants and implementing the existing law in Jakarta. And it will also ban stores from selling cigarettes to children under the age of 18 years; in order to protect the health and well being of those who work in such environments as well as the citizens of Indonesia.
We need to stop this horrible trend before it gets any worse. If we put a stop to it now, we will live longer, healthier lives. Our children and future generations will not have to suffer the consequences of smoking or secondhand smoke. Our smoking loved ones will be supported in quitting smoking and hopefully their health can be saved as well. It's a win-win for everyone, non smokers and smokers alike.
Let’s target to collect at least one million signatures and will be forwarded to your elected officials in Indonesia.
We *CAN* make a difference!
