Geekvape, a community of electronic cigarette enthusiasts located in the Majalengka regency of West Java province, has rejected the government's 109th revised regulation (RPP) on other tobacco products (HPTL).
Geekvape, an e-cigarette community, celebrated its anniversary in Majalengka Regency. During the event, Rudianto Septiawan, the president of Geekvape Majalengka, emphasized their commitment to reject the government's plan to revise Government Regulation No. 109/2012, along with some other e-cigarette users and his political party.
This pertains to the regulation of tobacco products in the form of HPTL cigarettes (and other tobacco processing products), including the electronic cigarette industry.
According to records, previously, the electronic cigarette industry was not included in the safety material regarding the health benefits of addictive substances in tobacco products, stated Rudianto on Sunday, August 28, 2022.
Rudianto stated that with the inclusion of the HPTL in the 2012 RPP No. 109, particularly in the case of the electronic cigarette industry, it is considered detrimental to many parties.
This kind of electronic cigarette or e-cigarette does not contain tar, which is a substance that is carcinogenic or can trigger the growth of cancer cells in the body," he said.
Therefore, Rudianto expressed his hope that the government could reconsider the correct regulation of the electronic cigarette industry.
The reason is that if regulations for the electronic cigarette industry are not implemented correctly, it could create an illegal market in Indonesia.
He said, 'We strongly oppose the government's plans to modify regulations.'
Geekvape Majalengka recently marked their two-year anniversary by organizing a social service where they donated funds to hundreds of orphans in Majalengka.
This event was sponsored by major brewers from various regions in Indonesia and invited electronic cigarette users from the Ciayumajakuning area (including Indramayu, Kuningan, Majalengka, and Jatiluhur) while offering fun games.
The purpose of this year's anniversary celebration is not only for the benefit of electronic cigarette users or the e-cigarette community, but also to positively impact the surrounding community.
My colleague from Geekvape Majalengka and I wish to offer something new for this two-year anniversary. We hope that the second celebration will benefit the surrounding community more. It can also serve as a model for other communities," stated the Chairman of Majalengka Vape Community.
