Abstract

Gadis Kretek, a novel by Ratih Kumala, has sparked my recollection of the practice of smoking rokok kretek (kretek cigarette). In my childhood up to my early youth (1960–1970), cigarette and smoking had significant meaning in social life. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to describe the social meaning of smoking, that is, how the people in my kampong smoked kretek, how it became an identity of adulthood, and how it became a means of hospitality in social life. This study which was conducted through phenomenological methodology could reveal the phenomenon of the social function of cigarette and smoking.
