Dear Neil,
To answer your questions: [*see note below]
1. I access the video through university account (alumni account). I do not have direct link for you to access the video.
2. Ministry of Health provided the following video regarding the danger of tobacco to health: https://promkes.kemkes.go.id/download/dmgj/files47349Hidup Hancur Karena Rokok.mp4
3. I tried to use the following phrase in Indonesia “bahaya rokok bagi Kesehatan” (the dangers of smoking for health) in Bing and Google. I found that the results are from reliable sources.
4. I do not know about the impact. But the most views video regarding this topic is this video: https://youtu.be/w2SS3kmy3HM . It talk about its contents, history, propaganda and alternativ. This is for general public.
Best regards,
Jum’atil Fajar

[*Note from HIFA moderator (NPW): Here are the questions/comments in my previous message:
"1. Thank you Jum'atil. The observation that 'most Indonesians don't believe that smoking is bad for their health' is quite shocking and I would be very interested to see the film. However, I have just spent 30 minutes online looking for it, including the Action on Smoking and Health website, and the only version I can find is not freely available. Do you have a direct link?
2. This raises a question about the availability of educational video for the general public. In my view any video that has educational value, such as the one you describe, should be freely available to all. The tobacco control community should ensure this wherever possible.
3. A third comment is whether and how the tobacco control industry guides people through online content to inform them about the health (and environmental) risks of tobacco. If a member of the public does a Google search on health risks of tobacco they will get 72 million results. How to guide people to information that is both reliable and impactful?
4. What are the most impactful videos that have been made on this subject? For the public? For health workers? For policymakers? Have they been adequately publicised and disseminated?
