The Indonesian Personal Vaporizer Association expressed disappointment with the government's decision to increase the excise tax on e-cigarettes, which will be implemented starting in 2022.

APVI Secretary-General, Garindra Kartasasmita, highlighted the tariff change on the Retail Selling Price (HJE) of Open System e-cigarettes.

"Where this type is dominated by local SME producers. Many employ local workers and use domestic raw materials," he said.

Therefore, Garindra found it strange that this government policy tended to benefit imported products.

"This is quite surprising for us because we have been trying to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic products against imported products. However, the excise tariff set tends to benefit imported products," he said.

Garindra also added that the vape industry was also affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, experiencing the same pressure as other industries, and declining sales were also a heavy blow to this industry.

"Like other industries, our industry was also affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, so a projected decline is very normal. But on the other hand, we see optimism from business actors to continue striving to stimulate the market," said Garindra.
