Six years ago, Aldi Suganda, also known as Aldi Rizal, was a 2-year-old chain smoker addicted to cigarettes, smoking packs each day. In rural areas, "the small shops, grocery shops, are sponsored by cigarette companies, and they can put adverts anywhere," he said. He also mentions sports clubs that have tobacco companies as part of their names. Of the big six global tobacco companies, Phillip Morris International dominates the market in Indonesia, according to 2013 data from the Tobacco Atlas. With all this eventually in place, Aldi's message may finally reach those who need to hear it: young children facing the allure of smoking tobacco.
