Popularize ban on smoking<\/p>\n
From Koran Tempo<\/p>\n
The governor of Jakarta, Sutiyoso, is of the opinion the
\npeople of Jakarta are not yet ready to accept a ban on smoking at
\npublic places as stipulated in the city administration's bylaw on
\nthe control over air pollution. Aside from creating the necessary
\nsupporting infrastructure for the implementation of this
\nparticular bylaw, efforts to popularize it will also need quite a
\nlong time.<\/p>\n
I agree that the city administration must take time to inform
\nthe public of this initiative but the ban on public smoking
\nshould be immediately enforced inside public vehicles. When it
\nrains, the windows in a bus are shut and some passengers,
\nignoring others, continue to smoke often saying that smoking
\nmakes them feel warmer.<\/p>\n
This ban should also be enforced in all public places because
\nsmokers are usually selfish. They will throw cigarette butts
\nanywhere and they smell bad, especially when they talk.<\/p>\n
