煙草在線據《雅加達郵報》報道編譯　　在印尼政府于2012年12月通過了一項煙草影響控制法案之后，卷煙制造商們將面臨更嚴厲的調整卷煙分銷和銷售的法規。

　　2012年12月24日，印尼的蘇西洛總統簽署了這項被延誤了很長時間的法規。這項法規將要求卷煙制造商在產品包裝上印制圖片健康警語和說明。

　　從這項法案的簽發日到全面遵守這項新法規，卷煙制造商和進口商將有18個月的過渡時間。

　　這項法規的第十七款規定，健康警語和圖片必須印制在煙盒正面和背面的上端，而且健康警語必須以黑底白字的“警告”一詞開頭，而且還要印刷清晰。

　　圖片健康警語不能被任何東西覆蓋。

　　這項法規還建議，卷煙制造商在煙盒的側面印制“沒有安全用量”字樣。

　　卷煙制造商還被禁止使用淡味、超淡味、柔和、超柔和、低焦油、細長、特殊、醇香型、名優，或任何其他顯示質量、形象或個性的用詞。

　　卷煙廣告也已被禁止。

　　這項法規的第二十七款說：“廣告不應該促使或建議人們吸煙。”

　　這項法規本應該按《健康法》的規定早一點被通過，但這項計劃遭到了擔心失去收入的煙農們的反對。

　　但印尼政府找到了解決這個問題的辦法，稱關于健康警語的條款對每年生產卷煙不足2400萬支的小型卷煙制造商無效。

　　這項新法規還規定，印尼地方政府應該多元化經營煙草產品，確保煙農的生計。

　　這項法規說：“相關地方社區實行多元化生產，努力保持煙草生產。”

　　《2011年全球成年人煙草調查》報告將印尼列為全球男性吸煙者人數第二高的國家，其男性吸煙者的比例從1995年的53%攀升至調查時的67%。

Tobacco Bill Requires Graphic Warnings to be Displayed on Cigarette Packaging in Indonesia

　　Cigarette producers will face tougher regulations to distribute and market cigarettes in Indonesia after the government passed a tobacco impact control bill last month.

　　President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono signed the long-delayed regulation, which will require cigarette producers to add graphic warnings and statements to their packaging, on Dec. 24, 2012.

　　Cigarette producers and importers will have 18 months from the issuance date to comply with the new regulation.

　　Article 17 of the regulation states that a warning and graphic must be placed on the top part of the front and the back of the box and it should begin with the word "Warning" using white font on a black background and should be printed clearly.

　　The graphic health warning should not be covered by anything.

　　The regulation also suggests that producers print on the side of the pack that there is "No safe dose."

　　Cigarette producers are also banned to use the words light, ultra light, mild, extra mild, low tar, slim, special, full flavor, premium, or any other words that indicate quality, image or personality.

　　Cigarette advertising has also been restricted.

　　"It should not trigger or advise people to smoke," article 27 of the regulation stated.

　　The regulation should have been passed sooner as mandated by the Health Law, but the plan was opposed by tobacco farmers who were worried about losing their income.

　　But the government has found a solution to the issue by stating that the article on the warning was not valid for low-scale cigarette producers who made less than 24 million cigarettes a year.

　　The new regulation also mandates that the local government should diversify tobacco products to ensure the livelihood of tobacco farmers.

　　"Diversification can be done by involving local communities as an effort to maintain tobacco production," the regulation states.

　　A 2011 Global Adult Tobacco Survey report listed Indonesia as the country with the second highest number of male smokers, with the rate of male smokers jumping from 53 percent in 1995 to 67 percent at the time of the survey. Enditem
