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.
