Tighter regulation on smoking

In January this year, Indonesia finally passed a long-awaited tobacco control regulation that imposes certain restrictions on cigarette advertising.
One of the restrictions will bar companies from portraying children, teenagers or pregnant women in their ads. The ads are also prohibited from glamorizing smoking or encourage people to take up the habit.
The regulation will require cigarette ads on television to devote 10 percent of their running time to written warnings with a pictorial warning. Ads on the radio would have to devote 10 percent of their duration to verbal warnings, while still-image ads would be required to devote 10 percent of their area for a warning.

Zim tobacco farmers forge ahead despite odds

The Zimbabwean economy is agro-based and tobacco farming is traditionally the backbone of the economy followed by mining. The past decade has seen the emergence of young new farmers who have been empowered through the land reform programme launched in 2000 by President Robert Mugabe.
The controversial land reform programme is beginning to pay dividends as evidenced by the bumper tobacco harvests being delivered to the country's auction floors. This season tobacco sales have generated US$300 million in 44 marketing days. The tobacco industry used to be dominated by white commercial farmers whilst the indigenous black people worked as labourers on the commercial farms where they were paid low wages. However, things have changed, as Zimbabwean young men have become masters on their own farms, thanks to the government's empowerment programme.
