No. Vaping with children in a car is prohibited under Indonesia’s 2022 Health Law and 2023 Ministry of Health Regulation No. 32, which classifies secondhand aerosol as a public health hazard. Violations risk fines up to IDR 1 billion (≈USD 65,000) or vehicle confiscation, with enforcement tightening ahead of the 2026 ASEAN Tobacco-Free Generation initiative.
Key Regulations for Vaping in a Car with Kids in Indonesia
- Health Law No. 17/2023 (Art. 115): Bans vaping in enclosed public spaces, including vehicles when minors are present, enforced by the Ministry of Health’s Satgas Pengendalian Tembakau.
- Ministry of Transportation Circular No. 2/2024: Mandates “no-smoking/no-vaping” signage in private vehicles carrying children, with penalties for non-compliance including driver’s license suspension.
- Local Bylaws (e.g., DKI Jakarta Pergub No. 88/2023): Empower regional authorities to impose additional fines (IDR 50–500 million) and mandatory tobacco/vaping cessation counseling for offenders.
Enforcement prioritizes high-traffic urban areas (Jakarta, Surabaya) where child passenger incidents are documented. Non-compliance data is shared with the Dinas Kesehatan for health risk assessments.
