Thousands of children work in Indonesia's tobacco farms, Human Rights Watch says.

Children as young as eight are exposed to hazardous conditions, putting them at risk of cancer and nicotine poisoning.

According to the International Labor Organization, more than 1.5 million children aged 10 to 17 work in agriculture in Indonesia.

Children working in Indonesia's tobacco industry told HRW they regularly suffered from nausea, headaches, dizziness and vomiting -- symptoms of nicotine poisoning.

The Indonesian government and international tobacco companies have been called to do more to stamp out child labor in the industry.
