Smoking habits have widely spread to almost all community groups in Indonesia and tend to increase, particularly among children and adolescents. It indicates that the issue of smoking has become increasingly serious considering that smoking has the risk of causing various diseases or health problems both to smokers themselves and to others around them who do not smoke (passive smokers). Universitas Indonesia has been a non-smoking campus since 2011 based on the Rector’s Decree 1805/SK/R/UI/2011 on Non-Smoking Areas (KTR UI). The decree also mentions the supervision of its implementation in all faculties.
The smoke-free policy aims to provide protection from the dangers of cigarette smoke for active and/passive smokers, provide a clean and healthy space and environment for the community, protect public health in general from the adverse effects of smoking both directly and indirectly, create a clean and healthy environment free of cigarette smoke, improve the welfare of the community, and prevent novice smokers. The benefits of this smoke-free policy are clean air without cigarette smoke, a comfortable environment, and reducing the impact of smoking on health. A special area is provided for smokers, such as at Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP). Several faculties have also released their respective regulations regarding non-smoking areas in their faculties, such as Faculty of Humanities (FIB), Faculty of Computer Science (Fasilkom), Vocational (Vokasi), Faculty of Dentistry (FKG), Faculty of Public Health (FKM), School of Environmental Science (SIL), and School of Global Strategy Studies (SKSG).
