Cigarette advertising in Indonesia
History and legality of cigarette advertising in Indonesia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cigarette advertising in Indonesia is presently allowed,[1] and as of 2021, Indonesia is the only country in the world to allow cigarette advertising.[2] However, it is prohibited to show cigarettes and advertising must include smoking warning messages. In Indonesia itself, such advertisements are known under the name iklan rokok in Indonesian. In 2003, cigarette advertising and promotions in Indonesia was valued at $250 million.[3] In addition to television and outdoor advertisements, sporting events sponsored by cigarette brands or companies also occur.[4]

According to the mayor of Bogor, Bima Arya Sugiarto in 2021, smoking attempts among children and teens under 18 years are mostly caused by seeing cigarette advertisements and promotions.[5] Cigarette advertisements are also considered to be the most manipulative, according to the Indonesian Consumer Organization (YLKI) in 2017.[6]
