Smoking incidence in Indonesia

This is questions is asked a lot, and quite difficult to answer, only the one who have done a study can answer it. However today I come across an article from BBC saying that the smoking incidence in Indonesia isĀ  more than 60%, the highest in the world.

No wonder Phillip Morris Indonesia bought sampoerna and BAT (British American Tobacco) bought Bentoel. a very lucrative market I see

This is incidence of smoking regularly, means does not include the one who just occasionally or rarely. There is no further explanation on what is regularly means nor when the study is conducted, but that is enough for a curious cat like me.

Strangely, I got this information from article in BBC about someone losing his teeth after a cigarette he was smoking was exploded… How weird is that?

You can read it here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8493288.stm

If it is no longer on the net, here I print it for you
