50% Indonesian Poor Family Spent Their Money for Smoking

Smoking is more important than family Happiness. 50% poor family in Indonesia spent their money for smoking. Whereas they can use the money to buy food and milk for their children than cigarette. "1 from 2 poor family, which their wage only under IDR 600.000, spent their money to buy cigarette," said Abdilah Hasan, Indonesian Demography Researcher Institut (Src: detik.com, Apr 21, 2009).

Wow... Unbelievable!! But, I don't have any idea to disagree with Abdilah Hasan's pronouncement. If I can make analysis, there are few factors why that happen.

1. Education level
Average low middle economic level only have education until junior high school. It's different with intelectual people which ordinary is up middle economic level. Intelectual people has already know that smoking is not good for their healthy.

2. Stress and economic problems
My friend ever told me he smoke if he had some problems which he can't solve it. He said with smoking, he felt better and he can think clearly. Same with my fiend's case, few of poor family believe with smoking they will feel better and think clearly because pressure from their economic problems.

3. Lifestyle
Indonesian people still believe smoker is awesome until now. They will be get confession from their friend if smoking. Beside that, emerge false miths in people about smoking. Like with smoking you will be avoid from senility, smoking is not annoy their healty, etc, and smoking is a lifestyle.

4. Environment
Environment is one of common factor how people smoke. There are lot article explain how environtment influence habit someone.
