This month topic is about cigarrete. As a student, I certainly should not smoke in addition to the prohibition of parents and teachers. Smoking is also not good for health. I'm confused why there is clearly a warning that reads like this: "Smoking can cause cancer, heart attacks, impotence and disorders of pregnancy and the fetus." but there are still people that want to smoke. Tobacco companies put that warning because of the government regulations but they knew that putting statement warning will not afffect the sale of cigarettes. Government regulations are not so effective to reduce smokers. Nowadays in Indonesia the numbers of smokers are increasing while in the United States the number of smoker are decreasing. that's because United States regulations are more stringent. America used to had the most smokers. In Indonesia there a lots of cigarettes advertisement such as billboards, tv ads, and much more. I think because lots of ads make a lot of people smoke, especially teenager. In their mind were embedded concept that smoking is cool. All brands of cigaretes make their advertisement creative and attractive to people. My suggestion to government that they should put some disease picture in the cigarette packet
