Up In Smoke: Indonesia’s Tobacco Industry and its Children

In Australia, we all know how hard it is to buy cigarettes – they’re costly, they’re distributed at only a few select stores, and they’re package in a way that turns most people off smoking them. But in the bustling streets of Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, a completely different story is being told. Watch as UQ in Jakarta’s reporter Jacqueline Pon and her investigative team explore the perverseness of Indonesia’s tobacco industry, and its impact on children.
