The Jakarta administration has stopped selling cigarettes at central locations, following a recommendation from the Jakarta Legislative Council's Commission IX.
In response, Commission IX has asked the administration to provide designated spaces for street vendors who previously sold cigarettes at these central points. This move aims to support the livelihoods of street vendors while aligning with the city's efforts to discourage smoking and promote public health.
