Lawmaker Slams Vape Promotion to Minors, Demands Arrest
An Indonesian lawmaker has strongly criticized promotional activities targeting minors for vapes (e-cigarettes), deeming them clear violations of the law and demanding the arrest of those involved. The issue raises significant public concern over potential health impacts on youth.
Ahmad Sahroni, Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR), has expressed a firm stance against promotional activities for vapes (e-cigarettes) that target minors. He argued that such actions are clear violations of the law and that those involved should be arrested immediately. This issue has sparked significant debate within Indonesian society, particularly amid growing concerns about the potential adverse health effects on young people. Sahroni highlighted his deep concern regarding the current situation where advertisements and promotions for vape products are reaching underage individuals, who are legally protected. Indonesia has legal regulations in place to protect the health and welfare of minors. However, with the increasing prevalence of vape products, questions are being raised about the scope and effectiveness of these regulations. Sahroni's statement is seen as a call for stronger measures to enhance the enforcement of these regulations and protect youth from inappropriate information and products. Source: Sindonews
