Most "local" Indonesian cigarettes have cloves. Ex-President's son Tommy Suharto used to have the clove monopoly!!

At 7000 Rupiah a packet kids don't have to do that anymore, although you can buy 3 cigarettes from small shops. Kids start young here. It's a sign of manhood (sic) you know circumcision at 12, cigarettes at 13. My Thai partner notices how many people in Indonesia smoke compared to Thailand. She says everyone! Also she notices there are no phone boxes on the street and the gas stations only have one or two pumps.
