煙草在線據(jù)《雅加達郵報》報道編譯

　　熏黑的肺，壞疽的腳，熏黃的牙齒。

　　印尼的卷煙警告標簽即將變得更難看。

　　印尼政府官員在4月19日一次關(guān)于印尼新的煙草法規(guī)的會議后，宣布了新的健康警語。印尼的政府官員說，這些健康警語標簽——以與吸煙有關(guān)的疾病圖片為特色——將會很大，覆蓋煙草包裝40%的面積。在新加坡和泰國等國家，類似的健康警語已經(jīng)成為標準。

　　4月19日，印尼人民福利部協(xié)調(diào)部長Agung Laksono在雅加達說：“健康警語被認為是必要的，因此，除了書面警告之外，我們還就應(yīng)該覆蓋卷煙包裝每一面40%的圖片健康警語達成一致。”

　　印尼衛(wèi)生部副部長Ali Ghufron說，在與煙草公司開展了一些辯論后，新健康警語的大小得到了批準。

　　Ali Ghufron說：“其他國家實際上有覆蓋卷煙煙盒70%，甚至80%的圖片健康警語。對我們來說，即使就40%的覆蓋面積達成一致都非常困難。”

　　衛(wèi)生部的官員在4月19日舉行會議，討論旨在遏制印尼卷煙使用的新法規(guī)細節(jié)。Ali說，這項法規(guī)仍是草案，關(guān)于卷煙包裝的新法規(guī)可能需要一年或兩年時間才開始生效。

　　據(jù)印尼大學的公共健康教授Hasbullah Thabrany說，印尼的煙草消費者人數(shù)位列世界第三，僅次于中國和印度之后。根據(jù)來自聯(lián)合國的《煙草控制框架公約》提供的數(shù)字，印尼每年大約有20萬人死于與吸煙有關(guān)的疾病。

　　盡管新法規(guī)將在煙盒上增加大幅健康警語，但新的煙草法規(guī)仍然止步于嚴格控制印尼溫和的卷煙廣告與公司贊助的法規(guī)。只要實際的卷煙沒有顯示出來，卷煙公司仍然能夠贊助音樂會、節(jié)日，卷煙廣告仍然可以出現(xiàn)在任何媒體上。

Indonesia to Require Graphic Warning Labels on Cigarettes

April 19, 2012

　　Blackened lungs. Gangrenous feet. Yellowed teeth.

　　Indonesia's cigarette warning labels are about to get a lot nastier.

　　Government officials announced the new heath warnings after a meeting on the country's new tobacco regulations on Thursday. The　warning labels - featuring graphic photographs of smoking-related illnesses - will be large, covering 40 percent of the packaging, government officials said. Similar health warnings are already standard in countries like Singapore and Thailand.

　　"Health warnings are considered necessary, so aside from the written warnings, we've agreed on graphic warnings that should cover 40 percent [of cigarette packages] on each side," Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare Agung Laksono said in Jakarta on Thursday.

　　The size of the new warnings was approved after some debate with tobacco companies, Deputy Health Minister Ali Ghufron said.

　　"Other countries indeed have graphic warnings covering 70 and even 80 percent [of their cigarette packages]. For us, it was very difficult to even agree on 40 percent," Ali said.

　　Ministry officials met in Jakarta on Thursday to hash out the specifics of new regulations aiming to curtail cigarette use in Indonesia. The regulation is still in draft form and new rules on cigarette packaging will likely take a year or two to come into effect, Ali said.

　　Indonesia has the third-highest number of tobacco consumers in the world after China and India, according to Hasbullah Thabrany, a public health professor at the University of Indonesia. And every year, some 200,000 people die from smoking-related illnesses in Indonesia, according to figures from the United Nations Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

　　While the new regulations will add large health warnings to cigarette packs, they stop short of reining in Indonesia's lenient rules on cigarette advertising and corporate sponsorship. Cigarette companies will still be able to sponsor concerts and festivals and cigarette ads can still appear in any media, as long as the actual cigarette is not shown.
