Rokok
History of Tobacco
The word "rokok" comes from the Javanese word for cigarettes. It is one of many brands in Indonesia where rokok is widely popular. This popularity can be traced back to the early days of colonialism when Indonesian workers were introduced to European lifestyle habits, including smoking tobacco. By the end of the nineteenth century, rokok had become a significant industry in Java.
Tobacco cultivation in Indonesia was adversely affected by World War II, with crops being used as currency among Japanese soldiers stationed there. After independence in 1945, tobacco production resumed and even expanded due to the government's desire for foreign exchange earnings. Today, Indonesia ranks third among tobacco-producing countries with more than half of its population being smokers.
Health Effects of Smoking
Smoking rokok can have severe health consequences. The World Health Organization (WHO) lists smoking as one of the leading causes of noncommunicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and respiratory infections, causing over seven million deaths annually worldwide. In Indonesia alone, the country loses $1 billion per year on healthcare costs related to smoking, which could otherwise be spent on education, child care, housing, or other social services.
In addition to these direct effects, passive smoking also poses a risk to those around active smokers, including children, pregnant women, and people with pre-existing conditions like asthma and lung cancer. Secondhand smoke exposure can lead to sudden infant death syndrome, low birth weight, and ear infections in young children.
Despite these known risks, the prevalence of smoking in Indonesia remains high, particularly among young adults aged 25-39 years, who make up about 35% of all smokers. This trend is attributed to various factors including cultural acceptance, peer pressure, and marketing tactics that glamorize smoking.
To combat this issue, the Indonesian Ministry of Health launched a campaign called "Golput" ("clean and white") against smoking and the use of betel quids, aiming to sensitize the public about the health risks associated with these practices. However, much work needs to be done to reduce the overall consumption of rokok and improve public awareness regarding its harmful health effects.
