Indonesia Government advances plain packaging for cigarettes and vapes

Indonesia Government is considering a plain packaging policy for tobacco products. The proposal covers both cigarettes and vaping devices. Plain packaging would require standardized colors and remove branding. The move follows global trends aimed at reducing product appeal. Authorities say the measure seeks to curb youth consumption. The policy is still under discussion and has not yet been enacted. Stakeholders such as manufacturers may raise objections. Next steps involve legislative review and possible public consultation.
