Your comments on the plan of the Jakarta city government to prohibit smoking inside all air-conditioned buildings in the capital.
Yes, I agree, but I hope it can be done with realistic punishments, such as affordable fines or social work. If it is not, then it could emerge as another problem: bribery.

Thumbs up! It is another positive step from the government. The warning on the cigarette pack is not there for nothing.

The smoking ban inside buildings is extremely welcome and long overdue. I respect that some people choose to smoke - I choose not to smoke and ask smokers to respect my choice. I should not have to share their poisonous air.

A great number people have been smoking for a long time. However, not many of them realize the negative impact of it toward the environment, which is now getting worse and worse. Pak Fauzi Bowo is a governor full of courage to ban this "popular" habit. He should be prepared to fight tooth and nail against the nicotine-addicted smokers. Never back down, Pak Fauzi. I support you in this. May Allah be with you.
