Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are diseases that have a chronic and chronic nature, for example cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease, cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. PTM is important and needs to be watched out for because, firstly, PTM has a chronic nature, and when it occurs it immediately causes symptoms when it is in its severe phase, secondly, PTM creates large costs for the state because if PTM has become severe, automatically the therapy will be more and the funding will also be more. Lots. These three trends increase from year to year and become the number one priority in Indonesia. Fourth, the death rate is increasing compared to infectious diseases. The role of health promotions is to be at the forefront of overcoming non-communicable diseases. At the Kartasura Community Health Center, they are intensifying health promotions about CERDIK through various digital media and community activities such as posbindu ptm, posyandu, posyandu for the elderly and activities in schools. Kartasura Community Health Center has an ISPEKA program (Healthy Indonesia with a family approach) by visiting local residents to ask about several indicators such as hypertension with regular treatment, and whether the family smokes or not. The obstacles to clever programs  are that people feel they have no  symptoms and feel they are healthy and the myth that consuming medication can disrupt kidney health, which is an excuse for not having regular health checks. There have been many government efforts regarding smoking, such as regulating cigarette excise, limiting tobacco production, and there are two efforts made by the Ministry of Health, namely smoke-free areas and efforts to stop smoking. The role of community health centers in smoke-free areas is to promote health to the community and schools by collaborating with cross-sectors. The way to prevent it as early as possible is by limiting the distribution of cigarettes, paying attention to teenagers’ social interactions because the target of cigarettes is novice smokers, if you are already caught up, you can do so through socialization about the dangers of smoking. Efforts to stop smoking can be made by collaborating with cross-programs and counseling on efforts to stop smoking is carried out in coordination with the PTM programmer and delivered at posyandu, posbindu and people who have diabetes, hypertension and stroke who still carry out the habit of smoking are given motivation and counseling efforts. stop smoking,  to make efforts to stop smoking among teenagers, the health center carries out education in schools such as middle and high schools through guidance and counseling teachers.
