APPSI Jakarta sebut 82 ribu pedagang akan terdampak Raperda KTR

APPSI Jakarta says 82 thousand traders will be affected by the Draft Regional Regulation on Smoke-Free Areas

Antara News | Local Language | News | Dec. 12, 2025 | Regulation

The Chair of the Regional Executive Board of the All-Indonesian Market Traders Association (APPSI) Jakarta, Ngadiran, stated that 82,000 traders would be negatively impacted by the Draft Regional Regulation (Raperda) on Smoke-Free Areas (KTR). The draft includes provisions banning product displays and prohibiting the sale of cigarettes within 200 meters of educational institutions and children's playgrounds, with these restrictions extending to traditional markets. Ngadiran expressed concerns that these rules could threaten the survival of traders in traditional markets and small neighborhood stalls and has communicated these worries to Jakarta’s Governor Pramono Anung and the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD).

Public Policy expert Trubus Rahardiansyah from Trisakti University noted that the drafting of the Raperda KTR began during Governor Anies Baswedan’s tenure, originally focusing on control rather than prohibition. In contrast, the current draft includes traditional markets, which according to Health Law Number 17 of 2023 and Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024, are not designated smoke-free areas. Trubus emphasized that the Raperda should be negotiated to avoid creating separate clauses that are inconsistent with national health regulations and should balance considerations of health, economy, and culture.
