Indonesia will not impose a binding nationwide vape ban before 31 March 2027.

On 12 October, the National Narcotics Agency and two coordinating ministries called for a total ban after narcotics were found in vape liquids. However, e-cigarettes remain legal under the 2023 Health Law and a 2024 government regulation (PP 28/2024), meaning a nationwide ban would require a presidential regulation. Vape makers and retailers support an estimated 100,000–150,000 jobs and generate Rp2.8 trillion in annual excise revenue, giving President Prabowo little incentive to impose an outright ban. Instead, the agency is likely to secure tighter customs checks, mandatory ingredient disclosures and Health Ministry restrictions, as it did after etomidate was found in vape liquids in 2025.
