Abstract
Background: The number of smokers in Indonesia is still high
and in the absence of serious attention by government, then
this problem would be a time bomb in the future. Results of
previous studies have shown a variety of diseases associated
with cigarette consumption. Medan city as the capital of North
Sumatra province has been concerned with this problem and
have proposed smoke-free zone regulation since 2010.
However, the enactment of smoke-free zone regulation
requires a long process and a strong commitment from the
local government.
Methods: The study design was a case study with a
qualitative approach. Informants of this studyis the city of
Medan legislators in charge of health, industry, labor, trade
and agriculture. Data is collected using in-depth interview
techniques to explore the views of relevant legislative
regulation on smoke-free zone.
Results: Stages of the process of establishing regulations
smoke-free zone are: 1) the initiation stage than has been
started since 2010 and was initiated by the Health Ministry,
assisted by the city of Medan Indonesia Heritage Foundation,
which is one of the NGOs involved in the protection of children
and women. 2) discussion stage, which has been proposed
(ranperda) until 2011 and has not been a priority for Parliament,
because there is no political will to protect the public from the
dangers of cigarette smoke. A discussion process regulation
is the most crucial step to achieve a common understanding
among the members of the legislature. 3) determination phase.
After going through the long process through meetings
(paripurna) in the decision making process and consent on
smoke-free zone then the regulation is validated by approved
by allfactions. 4) Promulgation phase, which is the issuance
of Regulation No.3 of 2014 on smoke-free zone, which consists
of 16 chapters 47 subchapters; and 5) Dissemination,
socialisation of smoke free zone Regulation.
Conclusion: The process of forming regulation of smokefree
zone through several stages, which initiated in 2010 by
the Ministry of Health that began to organize activities related
to problems of cigarettes. In the early stage, smoke-free zone
regulation was not a priority to be discussedin meetings in
Parliament, due to arising pros and cons. Commitment from the
local government and community support are the factors that
made this regulation be processed so that in December 2013
the Parliament plenary meeting pass the regulation and in
January 2014 Regulation No.3 about smoke-free zone is issued.
Recommendation: There are many challenges ahead after
the issuance of regulation smoke-free zone. The regulation
should be implemented effectively, with the involvement of
relevant stakeholders, also society (citizens-based smokefree
zone enforcement). In addition, cross-sectoral cooperation in the application of smoke-free zone regulation
needs to be improved. Ministry of Health as a driving force of
smoke-free zone policies should support the necessary
monitoring and evaluation.
