Reg. 23142 (April 25, 2014), to support the FDA’s proposed rule deeming certain tobacco products to be subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act).1 We support the FDA’s Proposed Rule, but also propose that the FDA take additional steps within its authority under the FD&C Act as appropriate for the protection of the public health and, in particular, to protect youth from the dangers of tobacco use. I. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS State attorneys general have long fought to protect their citizens, particularly youth, from the dangers of tobacco products. For example, every state attorney general sued the major tobacco companies for the harm their products caused, and, as a result, reached settlement agreements, including the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) that placed restrictions on the advertising, marketing, and promotion of those products. The MSA, entered into between 46 states and six other jurisdictions and the major cigarette manufacturers and numerous smaller manufacturers, committed the parties to “reducing underage tobacco use by discouraging such use and by preventing Youth access to Tobacco Products.” MSA § I.

    ILLICIT CIGARETTES IN INDONESIA June 2011 Abdillah Ahsan Nur Hadi Wiyono Diahhadi Setyonaluri DEMOGRAPHIC INSTITUTE FACULTY OF ECONOMICS, UNIVERSITY OF INDONESIA This project is supported in part by Grant Number R01TW007924 from the Fogarty International Centre (FIC) and National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The content is solely the responsibility of the presenters and does not necessarily represent the offi cial views of the FIC, NCI, or the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Background Illicit tobacco trade in Indonesia consists of illegal domestically produced cigarettes as well as cigarettes smuggled from abroad. This is recognised as an increasing problem that has not been quantifi ed. Methods Two methods were used to estimate Indonesia’s illicit cigarette trade in terms of both volume and revenue loss. Method 1 estimates illicit trade as the discrepancy between, domestic consumption minus legal sales of cigarettes. Method 2 estimates illicit imports as the differences between exports to, and offi cial imports into Indonesia. Data The period of analysis is 1995-2006 using data from the Indonesian Central Board and Statistics and Excise and Customs, and US Department of Agriculture. Results Estimates from method 1 suggest illicit trade from illegal domestic cigarette production and net smuggling out of Indonesia, amounted to 43 billion sticks in 1995, falling to 10 billion by 2001. During 2002-2004 increased illegal domestic production of cigarettes together with possibly some net smuggling in, amounted to 23-31 billion sticks per year or 10-14% of total cigarette consumption. The resultant loss of government revenue ranged from Rp 2.7 Trillion to Rp 3.5 trillion (US$ 327-409 million) for 2002-2004, or between 9% and 13% of total tobacco excise revenue.

Sometimes it’s hard to breathe when there’s a lot of tobacco leaves near me. I can’t describe it. I get such a headache. I’m dizzy. I see stars, and everything just looks bright.” “R ,” 14, S , E J 4 “THE HARVEST IS IN MY BLOOD” Ayu is a petite, soft-spoken 13-year-old girl from a village near Garut, in the mountains of West Java, Indonesia.1 She is one of five children in her family, and her parents are farmers who cultivate tobacco and other crops on a small plot of land. “Since I was a kid, I’ve been going to the fields,” she said. “My parents plant tobacco. Mostly I help my parents and sometimes my neighbors. I have an older sister, an older brother, and two younger siblings. They help too.” Ayu is in her first year of junior high school, and she mostly helps on the farm outside of school—early in the morning before classes, in the afternoons, and on weekends and holidays. But she told Human Rights Watch she occasionally missed school to work in tobacco farming. “My mom asked me to skip school last year when it was the harvest,” she said.

  • Marketing Work on Indonesia's Retail Infrastructure
    The architecture of cigarette circulation: marketing work on Indonesia’s retail infrastructure Marina Welker Cornell University The cigarette industry mobilizes independent retail as the scaffolding for ubiquitous cigarette advertising and sales in Indonesia, forming an expansive semiotic and material architecture of cigarette circulation in a country with limited tobacco regulations. As impending regulations threaten to curb cigarette advertising, and independent retailers face stiff competition from mushrooming chain convenience stores, Philip Morris International’s Indonesian subsidiary has developed a retail community programme to recruit and ‘modernize’ select retailers. The programme has intensified the quotidian labour of marketers who use knowledge, persons, and things to inhabit and renovate independent retail. I show how fashioning cigarette markets entails fashioning retail infrastructure, and is embedded in intimate relations of power, care, and violence. On the Indonesian island of Lombok, I spent a day in the company of Pak Arif,1 a cigarette marketing contractor. At one of our stops, the rather taciturn woman running a small general store pointed out that during a recent storm the ‘sunscreen’ advertising Marlboro lights had blown on top of the awning to which it was attached, and was no longer performing its function of hailing potential smokers. Arif’s stepladder was too short for the job of restoring it to its proper position. Improvising, he manoeuvred his vehicle to the edge of the roof, using the stepladder to clamber
