Vaping indoors in Indonesia is prohibited under national health laws, with enforcement delegated to local governments. The 2023 Health Ministry Regulation No. 10 of 2023 explicitly bans nicotine vaping in enclosed public spaces, aligning with WHO recommendations. Violations risk fines up to IDR 50 million (≈USD 3,200) or business license revocation. Local authorities, such as DKI Jakarta’s Health Agency, actively monitor compliance via spot checks in malls and restaurants.
