WHO reported that there are 1.2 billion people who use tobacco products worldwide and 800 million of them are in developing countries. Indonesia is currently ranked 3rd with the largest number of smokers in the world after China and India [1]. In 2007, Indonesia was ranked as the 5th largest cigarette consumer after China, the United States, Russia, and Japan. The increasing amount of cigarette consumption has an impact on the higher burden of diseases caused by smoking and the increase in mortality rates. By 2030 it is estimated that the death rate of smokers in the world will reach 10 million people and 70% of them come from developing countries [2]. Nowadays, 50% of deaths due to smoking occur in developing countries. If this trend continues, around 650 million people will be killed by cigarettes, of which half are of productive age and will potentially lose their lives (life loss) by 20 to 25 years [2]. Meanwhile, in developed countries, the mortality rate due to tobacco consumption actually declined from 2.8 million people to 1.6 million people in the same period [1]. Referring to Baseline Health Research, the prevalence of smoking for the age group > 15 years in 2007 was 34.2%, in 2010 it was 34.7%, and the smoking rate increased in 2013 by 36.3%.
