One of child right based on convention child rights is right to health. Indonesia has emergency youth smokers, prevalence the age group of 10-14 years keep increasing, doubling in 9 years. Based on national health research (2018), prevalence child smokers increased to 9.1% or 7.8 million children, whereas the National target is 5.4%. In Indonesia, TAPS is not banned by the government. Regulation mandated TAPS in outdoor is banned by the local government. Local government participation is very lack. So, Lentera did another approach to increase participation local government through Child Friendly City (CFC) platform because Indonesia has vision on 2030 become child friendly country.
