Determinants of participation in the implementation of non-smoking area policies for restaurant and cafe managers in Indonesia

Background.The Non-Smoking Area is a room or area that is declared prohibited for smoking activities or activities to produce, sell, advertise and/or promote tobacco products. The Regional Regulation on Non-Smoking Areas in Indonesia has been enacted since 2013, including in public places such as restaurants and cafes, but has not yet been fully implemented.

This study aimed to determine participation in implementing Non-Smoking Areas in restaurants and cafes in Indonesia. Materials and Methods. This study is a cross-sectional quantitative survey with an analytical survey approach, with a purposive sampling technique of 419 restaurants and cafes, analyzed with the help of the chi-square test and logistic regression. Results. The results showed that age, income, smoking status, knowledge, and attitudes were related to participation in implementing Non-Smoking Areas (P value <0.05). The attitude variable in multivariate logistic regression analysis had the most significant impact (OR: 2,949; 95% CI: 1,716 -5,069), and the smallest effect is the age factor (OR: 0,591; 95% CI: 0,361-0,967). Conclusions. Age, smoking status, income, knowledge, and attitudes regarding Non-Smoking Areas are the factors that contribute to the majority of restaurant and cafe managers in Indonesia not participating in the implementation of Non-Smoking Areas. Therefore, the government should maximize the role of the Non- Smoking Areas task force, socialize and provide awards such as the title of “Breathing Free” restaurant and cafe.

Implementasi Kawasan Tanpa Rokok di Sekolah Menengah Atas Swasta Wilayah Perkotaan

The large number of smokers in Indonesia needs coordinated and integrated action to address, especially since the number of smokers among students continues to rise. One of the measures to address this issue is the no smoking area policy, including at school. However, no smoking area policy objectives must be supported by optimum policy execution. This study aims to determine the implementation of the Non-Smoking Area Policy at Pramita High School Tangerang City. This study uses qualitative research by conducting in-depth interviews. The principal, students, and counseling teachers are the three primary informants. Teachers and administrative personnel serve as the two supporting informants. The Content Analysis approach was used to analyze the data. Non-Smoking Areas Policy has yet to be implemented optimally at SMA Pramita Tangerang City. The school needs more resources and has yet to constitute a working group to enforce a smoke-free zone and consequences for breaches. There have also been no reporting systems for breaches of this policy, making it impossible to determine the number of violations and the level of compliance of school residents with this policy of no-smoking areas. A school must strengthen the implementation of No Smoking Areas by conducting socialization, developing a dedicated team, providing supporting facilities and infrastructure and imposing strict punishments on violators of the restrictions.

Nicotine replacement therapy can serve as a drug therapy for smoking cessation, or bupropion and varenicline can be prescribed. Korea’s representative tobacco control policies include the tax increase policy, non-smoking area policy, cigarette pack warning picture policy, and support policy for visiting smoking cessation clinics.Discussion and Conclusion: There is a pressing need to reflect tobacco control policies in line with changes in tobacco user behaviors and tobacco company marketing strategies.

The problem of smoking among females has not been well addressed in Nepal. The study aims is to identify reasons behind smoking initiation and maintenance from the perspective of female smokers in Nepal.Methods: A qualitative study was conducted among female smokers aged between 18-24 years using focus group discussion and individual interviews in different hotspots for smoking in Kathmandu valley, Nepal. The purposive sampling technique was used. The female smokers who had smoked at least once in the previous seven days and continuously for the previous six months were included in the study. The interviews and discussions were recorded and transcribed before thematic analysis was conducted.Results: Four major themes emerged from analysis -initiation of smoking, smoking behavior, reasons for smoking and beliefs about smoking. All the female smokers started smoking as teenagers, generally out of curiosity and influence from family members. They preferred to smoke in groups and some were forced to smoke by their friends and had smoked against their will until smoking became a habit. Other factors for them to smoke were stress, conflict, peer pressure, fashion and education factors. The participants regarded the sense of release and independence gained from smoking as important and perceived the health risks as slight.Conclusion: The different perspectives on smoking identified in this study suggest that public health interventions should aim to decrease smoking levels by targeting groups rather than individuals, focusing on changing the smoking behavior of families and strengthening the non-smoking policy in public places.

Research on the Development of Liberalism and Nonsmoking Policy from the Perspective of Order and Happy Life

Based on human social order and good life, this paper first introduces the historical origin of western liberalism, combs the development process of liberalism, and finally points out that order is the basis of harmonious life of human society and liberalism. The same is true for the non-smoking policy. Smokers have the freedom to smoke, non-smokers also have the freedom to stay away from the source of smoke. However, their freedom cannot affect others' freedom to breathe fresh air. Freedom is not unlimited. Freedom is based on the premise of not interfering with the legitimate rights of others. This is the basic concept of modern society ruled by law. In other words, how to establish legal order or enjoy freedom under the framework of law. Liberalism is not only to achieve personal interests. If liberalism is completely like Hobbes's "jungle law", then each of us will always live in terror. Who is willing to live in such a society? Therefore, human happiness is the ultimate destination of liberalism. As Rousseau, a liberal and democratic thinker, said, "life is free, but without chains, there is no future". The same is true for the nonsmoking policy. It is necessary to establish the corresponding legal order or public order. The good life in this paper is also based on this social order.

Association between Cigarette Smoking and Physical Fitness Level of Korean Adults and the Elderly.

Although previous studies have examined the relationship between smoking and physical fitness, they only considered current smoking status and the same fitness measurements regardless of age. This study investigated differences in physical fitness based on tobacco smoking habits. A total of 2830 non-elderly adults (NEA; 19–64 years) and 629 elderly (65–89 years) participated in the study, using data extracted from a Korean national database. One-way ANCOVA and ANOVA were conducted to analyze the results. The subjects were classified into three groups (smokers, those who had quit, and never-smokers). In NEA men, a significant difference was observed in 50-m dash (p = 0.003) and 20-m shuttle-run (p < 0.001), while in elderly men differences were only seen in sit-ups (p = 0.015). In the case of NEA and elderly women, no significant differences were observed in physical fitness levels (p > 0.05). The decreased fitness level due to smoking was more noticeable in men than in women, and in NEA more than in elderly persons. A non-smoking policy and customized training based on age or gender are necessary to increase fitness and improve health conditions.
