Indonesia's KPAI Warns Against Underage Use in Vape Liquid Promotion, Demands Legal Action

Indonesia's Child Protection Commission (KPAI) has expressed strong concern over the platform 'Bigmo' for allegedly involving minors in the promotion of vape liquids. The KPAI points out that this action violates children's rights and urges relevant authorities to take firm legal action. The KPAI's statement is part of the commission's ongoing efforts to protect the health and well-being of minors. Vape products, in particular, are associated with health risks from inhalation, and exposure to minors is considered an extremely serious issue. It is suggested that the platform may not have adhered to regulations and ethical standards concerning the protection of minors in its promotional activities. This issue is likely to reignite discussions within Indonesia regarding the prevalence of vape products and the appropriate regulatory framework. The KPAI is advocating for strengthened supervision of platform operators and emphasizing the importance of awareness campaigns on child protection to prevent similar incidents in the future.
