Unhealthy smoking

From Jayakarta

It is now common to see young people of 10 to 20 years old
lingering in the streets smoking freely. It is a pity that we,
the adults, do not pay attention to them and never bother to
intervene.

In our days, smoking among high school students was "taboo."
Then smoking was done somewhere hidden from public notice. But
now, even elementary school children have been seen smoking. What
a sad thing! Our small children have been poisoned by deadly
smoke.

Unfortunately, in many recreational centers, we find game
boxes which give cigarettes as bonuses to the winner. These
places are not supposed to be frequented by school children, but
the officials pay no heed to them and let them in to play the
games.

Indirectly this sort of recreation has led the younger
generation to be lured into the smoking habit.
