Hi Mr. Alan.

I came from West Java. As far as I know teenage girl almost none to smoking cigarette. It is not a part of our culture for women to smoking. When women smoke, they slightly doesn't respect especially respect from a good man. I assume that teenage girls smoke almost as much as boys in many of the villages in West Java is just happen maybe in capital city (Bandung is capital city of West Java) and it is restricted to certain community. West Java is not just Bandung but there are Bogor, Bandung, Sumedang, Majalengka, Indramayu, Cirebon, and many more.

This is what I knew. ;)
