E. Example (Contoh) Discussion Text
The issue of higher cigarette in Indonesia (Wacana Harga Naiknya harga rokok di Indonesia)
The issue of higher cigarette prices more widespread. Through its official Twitter account, the Directorate General of Customs and Excise issued an official statement that the news was not true on Saturday (20/8). Until now, there has been no new regulation on retail prices (retail price) smoking.
News maze of cigarette price increase of up to Rp50ribu that originated from a study of the Center for Health Economics and Policy (PKEKK) Faculty of Public Health, University of Indonesia. Studies involving 1,000 respondents and lasted from December 2015 until January 2016 found that the number of smokers said they would quit smoking if cigarette prices increased twice the normal price. In fact, 72% of whom said they would quit smoking if cigarette prices above Rp50ribu.
Behind all the hoopla, there are important things that need our attention. Actually, the extent to which the strategy to raise cigarette prices and taxes is effective to reduce the number of smokers?
Data UN Office of Drugs and Crime noted Indonesia is one country with the price of the cheapest cigarettes in the world. For comparison, the average price of cigarettes in Indonesia was 1.32 US dollars, or Rp 17,368. In developed countries, cigarette prices in over one hundred thousand rupiah, for example in Australia, a pack of cigarettes could reach 16.11 US dollars, or USD 211 973.
In developing countries, cigarettes are sold cheap because targeting new smokers, such as children and adolescents. Data Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) Agency for Health Research and Development Ministry of Health, in 2013, disclosed the fact that the level of cigarette consumption among children aged 10-14 are categorized as very high, reaching 8 bars per day or 240 stems a month!
Haula Rosdiana, Professor of Tax Policy of the University of Indonesia said it was time the government sets strict legislation for these cigarettes, in order to control the negative effects of smoking.
The increase in the price of cigarettes also have an impact to state revenue, raising excise revenue. As a commodity, cigarettes are taxed (sin tax), because smoking has a negative impact on consumers, even passive smokers and the environment. “In many countries, the cigarette tax is very high for controlling tobacco consumption. Indonesia are among the lowest, “said Haula.
In its official statement, the Indonesian Consumers Foundation supports the price of cigarettes is raised because it will have a positive effect to reduce cigarette consumption in poor households. Funds to purchase cigarettes could be used to buy food.
Central Statistics Agency data shows the trigger of poverty in poor households are rice and cigarettes. “The pedicab driver, the driver, who enjoy a cigarette, they are the cigarette tax payers. Not surprisingly, the enormous social impact. Smoking makes the poor poorer, “said Haula.
On the one hand, the legislation smoking is considered an impact on the welfare of the workers of the cigarette industry. According Haula, a policy can not be considered partial. Do not use traditional labor as a reason for rejecting tobacco regulation. The government could provide another solution, for example, replace clove land into land of other food commodities. These countries have a greater need for food security, not the resistance of tobacco, “said Haula. (Written by :Rahma Wulandari/Englisclas.com)
