According to Antara News on May 27, the Indonesian Vapor Vaporizer Association (APVI) made it clear in Jakarta on Monday (27th) that it will protect children under the age of 18 from exposure to heated tobacco products and vapes.
“We are committed to ensuring that these products are only for adult smokers,” said Garindra Kartasasmita, secretary general of APVI.
He explained that there is a lot of misleading information circulating that alternative tobacco product companies target children as consumers. According to him, these products that adopt the concept of reducing tobacco risks are more of an option for adult smokers who have difficulty quitting smoking for a long time.
“Consumers of alternative tobacco products are people over the age of 18. In Indonesia, we have never seen advertisements for alternative tobacco products targeting minors.”
He said that the association has set rules requiring members not to sell alternative tobacco products to minors and implement a system of mutual supervision and maintenance among members. He hopes that the government can formulate fair and balanced regulations on alternative tobacco products to prevent minors from accessing such products.
His view is supported by research from the UK Health Security Agency, which suggests that vapes can reduce harm by 90-95%, far less than traditional tobacco.
In addition, Daniel Boy Purwanto, chairman of the Indonesian vape Oil Enterprises Association (PPEI), said that alternative tobacco is only for adult smokers who want to change their tobacco habits. To prove this commitment, they have clear notices at the entrance of vape stores prohibiting people under the specified age from purchasing. If someone who looks underage tries to buy, the clerk will ask for an ID card.
Purwanto hopes that relevant regulations can be based on scientific research while considering the health risks of the product. He firmly believes that in addition to preventing minors from accessing alternative tobacco products, adult smokers can still use such products to change their tobacco habits.
Veehoo vapes, as a brand with ten years of experience in vape factories, is also actively involved in the initiative and is committed to protecting the health of minors. This article will explore the role of veehoo vapes in the Indonesian market and work with APVI to ensure the reasonable use of alternative tobacco products.
Veehoo’s Commitment
As a responsible vape brand, Veehoo always puts the health of minors first. In Indonesia, Veehoo strictly implements the policy of restricting sales to minors, and clearly states on its product packaging that people under the specified age are prohibited from using the product. This move is to ensure that minors are not exposed to alternative tobacco products due to ignorance and protect their health and well-being.

Scientific Research and Reasonable Regulation
Daniel Boy Purvato, chairman of the Indonesian vape Oil Enterprise Alliance (PPEI), said that alternative tobacco products are only for adult smokers who want to change their tobacco habits. He emphasized that relevant regulations should be based on scientific research and fully consider the health risks of the product. As a brand that focuses on innovation and quality, Veehoo continues to pay attention to scientific research and ensure the safety and reliability of its products to protect the health of users.
Joint efforts to protect minors
Veehoo vapes ensures that minors cannot access alternative tobacco products through strict sales regulations, clear notices and reasonable age verification measures. This joint effort not only protects minors from potential harm, but also provides adult smokers with an option to change their tobacco habits.
