We The One Who Die


There you have it, something marvelous that is nigh impossible to achieve…
A small country hamlet that has completely banned smoking, you better  believe…

Somewhere in an offbeat location in Indonesia, people there achieve an impossible  feat …
There, in a small country hamlet, or kampong  by local slang, everybody has smoking beat…

The people that live in this unique hamlet or kampong exhibit remarkable self restraints…
How else can you explain this impossible feat of  successfully achieving a No Smoking ban…

Of course there are visible signs from the local authorities declaring this smoking ban…
There, at the very entrance to this unique settlement of country folks living simple lives,… 

A simple sign reads  “Thank You For Not Smoking, Say No To Cigarettes”  for every  visitor…
Another says “You The One Who Smoke, We The One Who Die”, what a grim reminder..

Tobacco related economic s are stymied here in this hamlet of simple country living…
Unlike in the rest of Indonesia where as high as 30% of adults are hooked on smoking..

For a country with 200,000 smoking related deaths a year, this hamlet is setting  the lead….
Nearby kampungs, villages and communities are working  hard in trying  to emulate…

The seductive lure of the tobacco related economy and monies are insignificant factors…
When the individual, and the community, are resolute and determined to prosper…

For the monetary savings from not smoking daily  are very significant to better spending…
As evidenced from the comments gathered from those who have stopped smoking…

This little piece of writing is my salutations for the people who are residents in that area..
Where fresh country air is free of tobacco particulates and life couldn’t be any better…

I could imagine in my mind the simple lifestyle there on offer,  a simple country hamlet…
Off the beaten route, away from the din and bustle of modern high paced hassles….

Bravo  to the residents of  this rustic Indonesian village called Kampung Bone Bone ….
Bravo for their collective success of promoting and prospering health to each home…
