Dozens of activists, mostly women, rallied in Surabaya on Sunday to commemorate the world's anti-tobacco day, tempointeraktif.com reported.
The activists paraded at Bungkul park on Jl. Raya Darmo, Surabaya's main thoroughfare, bringing along with them a giant cigarette stick.
They wore white T-shirts with writing "tobacco health warning" and carried a big "No Tobacco" poster.
“We celebrate no tobacco day by calling on the people to respect the rights of those who do not smoke and also warning the public about the danger of smoking to our health," Maulizar, the rally coordinator, said.
Every year, Maulizar said, 427,948 Indonesians died from smoking.
Similar anti-tobacco rally is scheduled to take place in Jakarta, at the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle.
