"We will consider (banning e-cigarettes), but in principle, everything that is dangerous will be banned by the government," Amin said at the University of Indonesia on Thursday.

The vice president promised a full assessment of the impact of vaping on public health before the administration makes a decision.

He noted that if e-cigarettes are found to be safe for public health, the next step for the government is to consider how to tax the product.

“If (e-cigarettes) are not dangerous, the next step is to decide whether to impose excise tax on the product. However, our first step will be (to decide whether to) allow the product,” Amin said.

This comes after the government, initiated by the Ministry of Health, is planning to amend Government Regulation No. 109 of 2012 to ensure the safety of addictive substance materials in the form of tobacco to promote health.

The proposed amendments are contained in the appendix to Presidential Regulation No. 25 signed by President Joko Widodo on December 23, 2022, on the Government Regulation Drafting Program for 2023.

The proposed amendments would include changes to health warnings and pictures on tobacco product packaging; regulations for e-cigarettes; a ban on advertising, promotion and sponsorship of tobacco products in information technology media; and a ban on the sale of cigarette packs.

The legal consequences of violating and implementing smoke-free zone regulations will also be included in the amendments to the regulations.
