Cigarette smoke of others is no less dangerous for those around him who do not follow smoking. A doctor even told me about the tragedy of his friend in Semarang, where his father (though a doctor too!) A heavy smoker died of lung cancer, and tragically, two daughters who had been exposed to cigarette smoke go get lung cancer, one had died, and the other one is still hospitalized overseas.
From the WHO data, it is mentioned that every year 0.5 million people die worldwide because of someone else's cigarette smoke, while the ILO data mentioned 200 thousand workers died from inhaling cigarette smoke of others in the workplace.
Thus, the impact on others is not kidding. Other people are exposed to cigarette smoke or so-called passive smokers, can get lung cancer risk and the risk of heart disease by 30%, while other chronic diseases such as cancer of the mouth, stomach cancer and liver cancer could be 8.17 times higher (source: IAKMI) . Even babies with parents at risk for heavy smokers can suffer from respiratory diseases 2x greater than children of non-smokers, middle ear disease and delayed growth and decreased lung function. So no wonder, in a seminar, dr. Judge Sorimuda Pohan, SpOG, an obstetrician said, in his work assignments in many hospitals in parts of Indonesia, if found babies born with disabilities or neglected, he would ask if their parents smoke. And it does have a father that heavy smokers (3-4 packs / day).
Hence, some regions have started to apply the law No Smoking Area (KDM). There are 7 areas including KDM is a place of learning, children's playground, health services, public transport, places of worship, public places (malls, shopping centers) and the workplace. Includes DKI Jakarta, where I live, there are rules KDM Perda n0. 2 years Pergub 88, 2005 and 2010. But unfortunately, teutep course there are people who not willing to this rule enforced, so that sued to MA. That is why some societies 'took to the streets' lest this Pergub eliminated.
