A petition has been launched calling on President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo to ratify the UN's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), which was passed to prevent the tobacco industry from targeting children.
Your comments:
Good for those prepared to stand against the FCTC and take the common-sense view. The so-called war on tobacco is nothing more than one group of tyrants attempting to impose their will on everyone else. It is no longer about tobacco or public health. It is all about profits for the pharmaceutical companies, eugenics and global dictatorship.
Individual countries should stand up for their right to choose, in the same way that the owner of a bar or restaurant should have the right to dictate what goes on (or not) in his premises, and an individual should have the right to decide what he will or will not consume. The FCTC should be torn up and consigned to the dustbin of history.
