Indonesian Health Groups Push to Regulate Vape Packaging
Indonesian health groups urge the Ministry of Health to require graphic health warnings and plain packaging for e-cigarettes due to growing youth use and lack of regulation. They warn that colorful packaging and lax oversight raise the risk of addiction and exposure to harmful substances among adolescents, advocating for stricter enforcement and a social media advertising ban. With high teen smoking rates, the groups push for swift regulatory measures to reduce youth consumption and improve oversight.
