煙草在線據《雅加達全球》報道編譯　　衛生部想要該國最大的穆斯林組織伊斯蘭教士聯合會（Nahdlatul Ulama）支持煙草法令的實施。

　　1月6日星期五，衛生部的疾病控制和環境健康部門的總干事說，他和衛生部長Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih一起，會見穆斯林領導人，解釋應如何實施為《2009健康法》一部分的規則。

　　“基本上，我們解釋了這個規定的內容，以及煙癮如何危險，我們需要幫助以成功地實施它，因為沒有包括伊斯蘭教士聯合會在內各個利益相關方的幫助是不可能實施的，”他說。

　　Tjandra說，來自伊斯蘭教士聯合會的支持是至關重要的，因為它有超過30000萬名追隨者。“伊斯蘭教士聯合會已經解釋了他們對煙草的立場，領導已經承諾他們將把這個問題帶到他們的全國會議上，現在我們只能等待他們的決定，”他說。

　　Tjandra說，他承認來自伊斯蘭教士聯合會的煙草種植者也擔憂這些規則會扼殺他們的生計。

　　“但是我們一遍又一遍地解釋這個規則并不禁止人們吸煙，它只是試圖保護兒童和孕婦不暴露在煙草所造成的健康風險中，”他說。

　　該組織的副主席Slamet Effendy對《雅加達全球》表示，無數的伊斯蘭教士聯合會牧師是老煙民。

　　他說，對政府提出的目的是為了控制煙草和保護未成年人遠離卷煙中使人上癮的化學物質的新規則有爭議。

　　他說他完全支持新法規，預計新法規即將頒布，“但是其他人呢？許多人并不認同我的觀點，”他說。

　　伊斯蘭教士聯合會秘書長Marsudi Syuhud說，這個組織宣稱允許吸煙，因為穆斯林教義不禁止抽煙。他說，如果有人不以為然，他們應該深入進行研究分析。

　　他說，伊斯蘭教士聯合會尚未全力支持政府的規則，因為該組織還沒有對它進行周密考慮。

　　該國的第二大穆斯林組織穆罕馬迪亞（Muhammadiyah），先前發布了一個教令稱，根據宗教律法，吸煙是非法的或有罪的，因為他們認為吸煙是一個形式的自殺。

Govt Seeks NU Help on Smoking Rules

　　The Ministry of Health wants the support of the country's largest Muslim organization, Nahdlatul Ulama, in implementing tobacco regulations.

　　Tjandra Yoga Aditama, the director general of disease control and environmental health at the ministry, said on Friday that he, along with Health Minister Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih, met with Islamic leaders to explain how the regulations, which form a part of the of the 2009 Health Law, would be implemented.

　　"Basically, we explained what this regulation is about, how dangerous tobacco addiction is, and that we need help to successfully implement it because it would be impossible without the help of every stakeholder, including NU," he said.

　　Tjandra said support from NU was crucial because it has more than 30 million followers. "NU has explained their stance about tobacco and the leaders have promised they will bring this issue to their national meeting, and now we'll just have to wait for their decision," he said.

　　Tjandra said he acknowledged there was some concern from NU's followers who are also tobacco farmers that the regulation would kill their livelihoods.

　　"But we have explained again and again that this regulation does not prohibit people from smoking, it is just trying to protect children and pregnant women from the health risk from being exposed to tobacco," he said.

　　Numerous NU clerics are heavy smokers, the organization's deputy chairman, Slamet Effendy Yusuf told the Jakarta Globe.

　　He said that there were debates on the new regulations proposed by the government, which aim to control tobacco and protect young people from the addictive chemicals in cigarettes.

　　He said that he fully supported the new regulation, expected to be issued soon, "but what about others? There are many others who do not share my idea," he said.

　　NU secretary general, Marsudi Syuhud said that the group had declared that smoking is allowed, because smoking is not banned in the Muslim doctrine. If anyone thinks otherwise, they should study it further, he said.

　　He said NU could not yet give its full support to the proposed government regulation because the organization had not yet thoroughly considered it.

　　Muhammadiyah, the second largest Muslim organization in the country, has previously issued a fatwa stating that smoking is considered haram , or sinful according to religious law, as they consider the activity to be a form of suicide.
