印尼烟草法案要求在卷烟包装上印制图片警语

在印尼政府于2012年12月通过了一项烟草影响控制法案之后，卷烟制造商们将面临更严厉的调整卷烟分销和销售的法规。

　　2012年12月24日，印尼的苏西洛总统签署了这项被延误了很长时间的法规。这项法规将要求卷烟制造商在产品包装上印制图片健康警语和说明。

　　从这项法案的签发日到全面遵守这项新法规，卷烟制造商和进口商将有18个月的过渡时间。

　　这项法规的第十七款规定，健康警语和图片必须印制在烟盒正面和背面的上端，而且健康警语必须以黑底白字的“警告”一词开头，而且还要印刷清晰。

　　图片健康警语不能被任何东西覆盖。

　　这项法规还建议，卷烟制造商在烟盒的侧面印制“没有安全用量”字样。

　　卷烟制造商还被禁止使用淡味、超淡味、柔和、超柔和、低焦油、细长、特殊、醇香型、名优，或任何其他显示质量、形象或个性的用词。

　　卷烟广告也已被禁止。

　　这项法规的第二十七款说：“广告不应该促使或建议人们吸烟。”

　　这项法规本应该按《健康法》的规定早一点被通过，但这项计划遭到了担心失去收入的烟农们的反对。

　　但印尼政府找到了解决这个问题的办法，称关于健康警语的条款对每年生产卷烟不足2400万支的小型卷烟制造商无效。

　　这项新法规还规定，印尼地方政府应该多元化经营烟草产品，确保烟农的生计。

　　这项法规说：“相关地方社区实行多元化生产，努力保持烟草生产。”

　　《2011年全球成年人烟草调查》报告将印尼列为全球男性吸烟者人数第二高的国家，其男性吸烟者的比例从1995年的53%攀升至调查时的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
