15 Sins of the Government of Indonesia in Creating Heaven For Cigarette Industry and Smokers


dangers of smoking


  1. Rules and regulations that exist in Indonesia is highly permissive for the tobacco industry. Various allowances and disregard the dangers of smoking take place without prevented. This can be seen from the very few non-smoking area, there are no rules set the impact of pictorial on packs of cigarettes, cigarettes are very easily available and accessible, cigarette sellers everywhere and many more of concern. Even the sad lot of people under the sign of a ban on smoking in no smoking.
  2. Of the 191 countries only 171 countries have ratified, including 90 percent of the world's population, while the rest including Indonesia has not ratified the FCTC, the myth about a large share of industry in improving the nation's economy, is the biggest obstacle, and judged as a fatal error Indonesian government also other countries in the world.
  3. This issue can not be addressed by developed and developing countries, cigarette consumption is high, resulting in a continued reduction in development assistance, because of the increasing burden of non communicable diseases which have an impact on increasing state spending on health and society, as was the case in many countries, if limited government funding tends to put the focus on basic health services in line with the MDGs, while the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases can not be overlooked
  4. In Indonesia there is no provision in the minimum area provided for cigarette packaging health warnings. There is only one specific warning that approved the legislation without rotation settings.
  5. Cigarette excise tax level in Indonesia about 53 percent for top-selling cigarette brand, but the low selling price of U.S. dollars amounting to 1:14, for a pack of cigarettes contains 20 cigarettes. "Do not be afraid to raise taxes so the price of cigarettes will go up and it is certain cigarette consumption will decline," he said.
  6. With Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRTs) and other pharmacotherapies are not available.
  7. Indonesia has also not yet have a national telephone service to quit smoking.
  8. The Indonesian government is making efforts to protect the people from the dangers of smoking, especially for children and pregnant women.
  9. Cigarette same effect with an illegal drug. Even the cigarette could be more severe because unlike drugs, smoking can be done in almost all places and cigarettes can be bought anywhere. Wherever you go in Indonesia, you will inhale cigarette smoke. Where you look, you easily find people who smoke, whether in homes, offices, restaurants, airports, schools and even in hospitals. So there are no regulatory restrictions on activities that are ideal for smoking.
  10. Indonesia does not have strict regulations, as well as adequate programs to control tobacco dependence and cessation of smoking habits in the community. While the tobacco industry interference in countries' development aid increase is a mere myth, marketing of the cigarette industry continues to grow, it is considered would increase the burden of infectious disease risk is not the greatest, which would bring heavy economic burden.
  11. Actually, the strategy undertaken by tobacco companies the same all over the world, the difference is how the local government meregulasinya. Indonesia is highly permissive for the tobacco industry. You could see how many cigarette advertisements on television, newspaper, radio or the media in Indonesia, which can be accessed by anyone, even children. In addition, not a bit too big events like music concerts and even sporting events sponsored by tobacco. The cigarette industry believe that Indonesia is a country whose government positively and like the tobacco industry. Indonesian government should dare to raise the cigarette tax and excise, and tighten existing regulations on smoking, such as Thailand, New Zealand, Australia or Singapore.
  12. Excise tax and smoking in Indonesia is cheap compared to other countries.
  13. Cigarette excise tax level in Indonesia about 53 percent for top-selling cigarette brand, but the low selling price of U.S. dollars amounting to 1:14, for a pack of cigarettes contains 20 cigarettes. Do not be afraid to raise taxes so the price of cigarettes will go up and certainly would decrease cigarette consumption.
  14. Perda smokers smoking ban in public places is a toothless tiger rules for smokers who never cared, because actions and the punishment was never enforced.
  15. When the firm and strict regulation is not done then the Indonesian government created the heaven for the tobacco industry and smokers. On the other hand the government continues to defend the people of hell for non-smokers.

Corruption Tobacco Health Law Section

cuter

In this country many things can be corrupted. Not only the money the state or even aid for the poor and victims of disaster, paragraph in the ACT could be corrupted. That is what happened in paragraph 2 of article 113 of the Health Act signed by President want to tobacco.

| Allow Comments | Related to the loss of Paragraph 2 of Article 113 Health Act, the Minister / State Secretary Hatta Rajasa states that verse is not there when the draft is received in the Secretary of State. Oddly enough explanation in the chapter Health Act, the explanation of the verse is still there. Though the draft approved at the plenary session of the House of Representatives, still includes the verse tobacco.

Over this incident, former Chairman of the Special Committee on the Draft Law of Health House of Representatives Commission IX, Rebekah Tjiptaning, said the loss of the verse is just because a mere technical error.
Despite the recognition, the discussion that paragraph was tough, because of differences in principle between the parties that the pros and cons. Parties that underlies his attitude to the fate of pro-tobacco farmers and people working in the tobacco industry. While the pro more priority health problems. But eventually reached an agreement to stay include the verse.
Unlike Rebecca, some Self-Institute society and other leaders expect, the loss of the verse about the tobacco was not a coincidence, but intentional. In fact, they suspect, and supposedly have evidence, there is the involvement of personnel from the Ministry of Health.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the loss of tobacco verse that reflects ignorance actors and stakeholders. If it is true that a mere technical problem, such as those believed to be Rebecca, is this not indicate poor performance of the Secretariat of fractions or House of Representatives. If intentional, how stupid the perpetrator, because sooner or later the loss of that paragraph shall know the parties concerned. Moreover, forgot to remove part of the explanation.

Actually there is a possibility of economic motives tobacco-related corruption clause in Health Act, if done in a neat and professional. Surely this can not be far away from the problem of collusion, nepotism and bribery Corruption! Because after the tobacco industry regarding the interests of various parties. Large tobacco industry and gain a lot of government that have to bear substantial tax revenue. Then the tobacco farmers and tobacco workers?
