This book emphasizes that the quality of Indonesian human resources is not solely determined by improvements in food and nutrition during early childhood; tobacco consumption control also plays a crucial role.

It documents lessons learned and information extracted from the series of activities titled “Analysis of Public Perceptions and Policy Makers regarding Stunting and Excise on Tobacco Products” to disseminate these findings to a wider community.

The book systematically reviews the relationship between cigarette consumption and malnutrition, particularly stunting, and highlights the importance of cigarette excise as a tool to control consumption.
