Toward a Healthier Indonesia: Raising Excise and Taxes on Cigarettes, Reducing Cigarette Consumption, Toward Quality Public Health
POLICY BRIEF 01, JULY 2024 Towards a Healthier Indonesia: Raising Excise and Taxes on Cigarettes, Reducing Cigarette Consumption, Towards Quality Public Health FINDINGS: Increases in cigarette excise taxes will reduce smoking prevalence. Increases in cigarette excise taxes and prices substantially reduce teenage cigarette consumption. Higher cigarette excise taxes will benefit the lowest income quintile (20%)
Pajak cukai tembakau di Indonesia dinilai tidak banyak membawa perubahan dalam penurunan prevalensi perokok. Pemerintah Indonesia sering menaikkan cukai di atas 10 %, tapi masih belum mencapai proporsi 70 % dari harga jual eceran dan harga $ 10 atau setara Rp 150.000 sesuai rekomendasi WHO.
