JAKARTA - Vice President (Vice President) Ma'ruf Amin said the ban on the sale of unit or centerline cigarettes starting in 2023 was in accordance with Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health.
"I think the problem with this cigarette is a derivative of the law, yes, Law No. 36 of 2009 concerning Health has its derivatives, including its derivatives prohibiting sales. That is the law on health, so it is related to health," said Vice President Ma'ruf Amin in Semarang, Central Java on Tuesday 27 December.
The government will issue a ban on the sale of Central Java cigarettes in 2023 as regulated in Presidential Decree Number 25 of 2022 concerning the Program for the Preparation of Government Regulations in 2023, which lists a plan to revise Government Regulation Number 109 of 2012 concerning Safeguarding Materials Containing Addictive Substances in the form of Tobacco Products for Health.
The ban on the sale of Central Java cigarettes is one of the seven main contents of the draft government regulation.
"Menurut apa yang saya pernah dengar, kalau (rokok) barang itu yang banyak membeli anak-anak. Jadi ini menyangkut masalah kesehatan, jadi ini untuk mencegah," ungkap Wapres.
Because it is a mandate of the law, the prohibition on the sale of unit cigarettes must certainly be implemented.
"When it comes to supervision, of course yes. Because this has become a law (mandate) and that is in order to maintain public health, we have prepared [supervision], of course, what kind of supervision will continue to be because it has become an order of the law, so we have to do it," he said.
Another point that will be regulated in the revision of Government Regulation Number 109 of 2012 is the provision of electronic cigarettes and the presence of an enlargement of the image size and the writing of health warnings on the packaging of tobacco products.
There is also enforcement and enforcement as well as regulation of non-smoking areas and prohibition provisions as well as supervision of advertisements for tobacco products.
"Prohibition of advertising, promotion, and sponsorship of tobacco products in information technology media," quoted from the Presidential Decree.
