烟草在线据《雅加达全球》报道编译　　卫生部想要该国最大的穆斯林组织伊斯兰教士联合会（Nahdlatul Ulama）支持烟草法令的实施。

　　1月6日星期五，卫生部的疾病控制和环境健康部门的总干事说，他和卫生部长Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih一起，会见穆斯林领导人，解释应如何实施为《2009健康法》一部分的规则。

　　“基本上，我们解释了这个规定的内容，以及烟瘾如何危险，我们需要帮助以成功地实施它，因为没有包括伊斯兰教士联合会在内各个利益相关方的帮助是不可能实施的，”他说。

　　Tjandra说，来自伊斯兰教士联合会的支持是至关重要的，因为它有超过30000万名追随者。“伊斯兰教士联合会已经解释了他们对烟草的立场，领导已经承诺他们将把这个问题带到他们的全国会议上，现在我们只能等待他们的决定，”他说。

　　Tjandra说，他承认来自伊斯兰教士联合会的烟草种植者也担忧这些规则会扼杀他们的生计。

　　“但是我们一遍又一遍地解释这个规则并不禁止人们吸烟，它只是试图保护儿童和孕妇不暴露在烟草所造成的健康风险中，”他说。

　　该组织的副主席Slamet Effendy对《雅加达全球》表示，无数的伊斯兰教士联合会牧师是老烟民。

　　他说，对政府提出的目的是为了控制烟草和保护未成年人远离卷烟中使人上瘾的化学物质的新规则有争议。

　　他说他完全支持新法规，预计新法规即将颁布，“但是其他人呢？许多人并不认同我的观点，”他说。

　　伊斯兰教士联合会秘书长Marsudi Syuhud说，这个组织宣称允许吸烟，因为穆斯林教义不禁止抽烟。他说，如果有人不以为然，他们应该深入进行研究分析。

　　他说，伊斯兰教士联合会尚未全力支持政府的规则，因为该组织还没有对它进行周密考虑。

　　该国的第二大穆斯林组织穆罕马迪亚（Muhammadiyah），先前发布了一个教令称，根据宗教律法，吸烟是非法的或有罪的，因为他们认为吸烟是一个形式的自杀。

　　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.
