  烟草在线据《雅加达邮报》报道编译

  熏黑的肺,坏疽的脚,熏黄的牙齿。

  印尼的卷烟警告标签即将变得更难看。

  印尼政府官员在4月19日一次关于印尼新的烟草法规的会议后,宣布了新的健康警语。印尼的政府官员说,这些健康警语标签——以与吸烟有关的疾病图片为特色——将会很大,覆盖烟草包装40%的面积。在新加坡和泰国等国家,类似的健康警语已经成为标准。

  4月19日,印尼人民福利部协调部长Agung Laksono在雅加达说:“健康警语被认为是必要的,因此,除了书面警告之外,我们还就应该覆盖卷烟包装每一面40%的图片健康警语达成一致。”

  印尼卫生部副部长Ali Ghufron说,在与烟草公司开展了一些辩论后,新健康警语的大小得到了批准。

  Ali Ghufron说:“其他国家实际上有覆盖卷烟烟盒70%,甚至80%的图片健康警语。对我们来说,即使就40%的覆盖面积达成一致都非常困难。”

  卫生部的官员在4月19日举行会议,讨论旨在遏制印尼卷烟使用的新法规细节。Ali说,这项法规仍是草案,关于卷烟包装的新法规可能需要一年或两年时间才开始生效。

  据印尼大学的公共健康教授Hasbullah Thabrany说,印尼的烟草消费者人数位列世界第三,仅次于中国和印度之后。根据来自联合国的《烟草控制框架公约》提供的数字,印尼每年大约有20万人死于与吸烟有关的疾病。

  尽管新法规将在烟盒上增加大幅健康警语,但新的烟草法规仍然止步于严格控制印尼温和的卷烟广告与公司赞助的法规。只要实际的卷烟没有显示出来,卷烟公司仍然能够赞助音乐会、节日,卷烟广告仍然可以出现在任何媒体上。

Indonesia to Require Graphic Warning Labels on Cigarettes

Jakarta Globe
April 19, 2012

  Blackened lungs. Gangrenous feet. Yellowed teeth.

  Indonesia's cigarette warning labels are about to get a lot nastier.

  Government officials announced the new heath warnings after a meeting on the country's new tobacco regulations on Thursday. The warning labels - featuring graphic photographs of smoking-related illnesses - will be large, covering 40 percent of the packaging, government officials said. Similar health warnings are already standard in countries like Singapore and Thailand.

  "Health warnings are considered necessary, so aside from the written warnings, we've agreed on graphic warnings that should cover 40 percent [of cigarette packages] on each side," Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare Agung Laksono said in Jakarta on Thursday.

  The size of the new warnings was approved after some debate with tobacco companies, Deputy Health Minister Ali Ghufron said.

  "Other countries indeed have graphic warnings covering 70 and even 80 percent [of their cigarette packages]. For us, it was very difficult to even agree on 40 percent," Ali said.

  Ministry officials met in Jakarta on Thursday to hash out the specifics of new regulations aiming to curtail cigarette use in Indonesia. The regulation is still in draft form and new rules on cigarette packaging will likely take a year or two to come into effect, Ali said.

  Indonesia has the third-highest number of tobacco consumers in the world after China and India, according to Hasbullah Thabrany, a public health professor at the University of Indonesia. And every year, some 200,000 people die from smoking-related illnesses in Indonesia, according to figures from the United Nations Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

  While the new regulations will add large health warnings to cigarette packs, they stop short of reining in Indonesia's lenient rules on cigarette advertising and corporate sponsorship. Cigarette companies will still be able to sponsor concerts and festivals and cigarette ads can still appear in any media, as long as the actual cigarette is not shown.
