Indonesia is the country with the third highest number of smokers in the world and the largest number of smokers in Southeast Asia. Active smokers in Indonesia estimated to reach 70 million people. Of that number, 7.4% are children aged 10-18 years. The aims of this research are to examine the legal protection of children from the dangers of tobacco smoke and also examine the role of the government in protecting children from the dangers of tobacco smoke. The research method used is normative research. Normative legal research is conducted using a variety of primary legal materials, which are in the form of statutory regulations, as well as secondary legal materials.
