Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Indonesia contributes over 61 million smokers to global tobacco users, and the smoking prevalence is increasing among young people. In October 2017, Bogor city started the ban on tobacco displays at point-of-sale (POS), starting with modern cigarette retailers. This study aims to assess compliance with the ban and the visibility of POS with tobacco displays around educational facilities.

METHODS

We included 266 modern retailers surveyed throughout the city during November and December 2017. Compliance indicators included no tobacco product displays, advertisements, promotions, and sponsorship. We conducted spatial and quantitative analyses in ArcMap 10.6 and Stata 15.1, respectively.

RESULTS

Immediately following the ban, the compliance with all four criteria was high (83%). However, POS in areas with higher population density and poverty rates had significantly lower compliance. We also found that the ban reduced the visibility of tobacco displays around schools and universities.

CONCLUSIONS

Compliance with the ban was high, which helped to reduce the visibility of tobacco displays around educational facilities.

INTRODUCTION

Indonesia has the second highest prevalence of adult male smoking in the world, however, it has not yet ratified the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, together with another eight but relatively smaller countries in population1,2. With over 260 million people, Indonesia contributes 61.4 million smokers to the global number of tobacco users1, and the situation is getting worse, particularly among young people. The latest national health survey showed that the overall smoking prevalence among those aged 10–18 years increased by 26%, from 7.2% in 2013 to 9.1% in 20183.

Comprehensive tobacco control efforts, particularly toward protecting young people, are needed but currently lacking in Indonesia. There is the 2012 Presidential Decree 109 that encourages districts to implement the smoke-free policy that bans smoking, advertising, promotion and sale within areas of selected public facilities such as schools. However, only 345 districts (67% of 514) adopted the policy by 2018, with considerable variation in compliance rates, from 17% in Jayapura city to 78% in Bogor city4,5. There are no national regulations to ban tobacco advertisements, promotion and sponsorship (TAPS) outdoors and at the point-of-sale (POS). In effect, only less than 10% of local governments (districts) adopted such bans by 20186, including Bogor city. The city, with a population of 1 million, has one of the most comprehensive tobacco controls in the country. It was among the early adopters of the smoke-free policy and the outdoor TAPS ban. The city introduced the ban on product displays and TAPS (henceforth, tobacco displays) at POS in October 2017.

Bogor city has a history of leading tobacco control in Indonesia. In 2008, the mayor made the commitment not to give new permits to outdoor TAPS, which was achieved in 20137. In 2009, the mayor and local parliament enacted a bill (‘perda’) on smoke-free policy that banned indoor smoking and TAPS in eight types of facility that included public (e.g. modern and traditional retailers) and educational (e.g. schools and universities). Initially, the government focused on smoke-free policy and reached high compliance by 20148. It enacted a regulation to ban new permits of outdoor TAPS in 2014–2015. During this period, the government also conducted activities to raise awareness on the ban of tobacco displays at POS, which led to the enactment on 5 October 2017. In the first phase (2017–2018), the ban was for modern chain retailers (e.g. Indomaret, Alfamart) and later traditional retailers. The ban includes all types of TAPS, such as banners and posters at POS.

The ban on tobacco displays at POS is essential, given evidence of their relationship with tobacco exposure among youth9-15. In Asia, Thailand was the first country to implement the ban in 2005, which has been shown to have reduced exposure to tobacco marketing at POS12. In Europe, implementation of the ban in Ireland (2009) and Norway (2010) showed that recall of displays dropped significantly after the legislation; also consumers believed that the ban could contribute to preventing smoking initiation among youth13,14. Given the lack of evidence from Indonesia, our study aims to assess compliance with the ban on tobacco displays at POS and to evaluate its impact on tobacco visibility around educational facilities in Bogor city.

METHODS

Study design and sampling

We assessed compliance with the ban on tobacco displays at POS (started in October 2017) by observation immediately afterwards (November–December 2017). Also, we assessed the visibility of tobacco displays at POS around educational facilities. We compared what would have happened without the ban in terms of hotspots and visibility around schools. To do this, and because we only had data immediately after the ban, we compared the hotspots and the visibility of all POS and those that were non-compliant. We use ‘all POS’ as a proxy for what would have happened without the ban. During the survey, all POS sold cigarettes, some openly (i.e. non-compliant with the ban) and some not (i.e. compliant). Because there has never been any ban on POS tobacco displays in Indonesia prior to this initiative in Bogor city, we assumed that all POS sold cigarettes openly before the ban. Non-compliance included selling cigarettes openly (with product displays) and/or having TAPS.

The city government planned two phases of the ban: the first phase (2017–2018) focused on modern chain retailer POS while the second phase will focus on traditional POS. Evaluating the first phase of the ban, our study assessed the compliance among modern cigarette POS, defined as retail franchises that sell cigarettes, including Indomaret, Alfamart, Alfamidi, Giant, Cicle K, and Yomart. They are similar to chain convenience stores such as Tesco Express and Sainsbury’s Local in the United Kingdom.

In terms of sampling, the city government did not have listings of modern cigarette POS. However, they estimated about 300 modern retailers, selling not only cigarettes but also food and clothing. Because modern clothing retailers do not usually sell cigarettes, we expected the number of modern cigarette POS to be lower than 300. With this, we surveyed all modern cigarette POS in the city by walking, motorcycle and car. Also, we asked the sellers and community for any nearby modern cigarette POS. From the survey, we found 269 POS. Because the survey was paper-based, no geolocation data were collected. We then used the locations and addresses of each POS and converted them into geolocations (latitude and longitude) using Google Sheets and geocoding add-ons16,17. This conversion resulted in geolocations for 266 POS (99%), which were used in our analysis.

Data collection

For cigarette POS data, we collected data on four compliance indicators as per the law, through observation. They included: a) no tobacco product displays, b) no tobacco advertisements, c) no tobacco promotions, and d) no tobacco sponsorship. Product displays include openly showing cigarettes over the counter. Advertisements include posters or banners that advertise cigarette products. Promotion may offer a lower price for specific products. Sponsorship may consist of receiving financial support from a tobacco company in exchange for changing the store layout. A sign ‘Cigarettes available here’ was allowed as per the regulation, which is similar to ‘Tobacco on sale here’ in stores in the United Kingdom. Six trained research assistants collected data during November– December 2017 using a study instrument in the Bahasa Indonesia language. For quality control, the survey was conducted collaboratively with the District Health Office as part of their monitoring of the ban.

For educational facility data, we collected a comprehensive list of primary schools, high schools and universities in the city. We obtained the school data from the city education office as of January 2019, which included variables such as school name, level (primary, junior high, and senior high), and address. We obtained the university data from the national higher education office as of January 2019, which included variables such as university name, ownership (public or private), and address. We converted the addresses into geolocations using Google Sheets and viewed a sample of facilities on Google Maps for accuracy check16,17.

Data cleaning and analysis

We employed quantitative and spatial analyses. The former provided compliance rates and variations by chain and subdistrict and used STATA 15.1. The latter provided buffer and hotspot analyses and used ArcMap 10.618,19. The buffer analysis compared the number of non-compliant POS within 250 m from educational facilities20,21. The hotspot analysis employed Getis-Ord Gi* spatial statistics and identified clusters with a significantly higher density of non-compliant POS18. The spatial analysis tools included: a) geoprocessing and buffer tools to generate 250 m buffer around a facility; b) spatial join tool to produce number of facilities with at least one POS with tobacco displays within buffer; c) spatial join and dissolve tools to produce number of advertisements around a facility; and d) optimized hotspot analysis tool to produce the hotspot areas and generate fishnet squares of 494 m. The size of the fishnet was determined by default in ArcMap given the distribution of the cigarette POS, which is also a reasonable walking distance (about a 10-minute walk). All significant results used the 95% level.

RESULTS

Table 1 shows the characteristics of all POS and educational facilities. There were 266 POS, including the two biggest national chains, Indomaret and Alfamart, with 74% market share in the city. By subdistrict, South, North and West Bogor had about two-thirds (66%) of all points-of-sale. There were 669 schools, including 49% primary schools and 62% private schools, as well as 30 universities, with 83% private universities.

Table 2 shows compliance with the ban on tobacco displays at POS. Of all 266 POS in our analysis, 82.7% complied with four criteria: no tobacco displays, adverts, promotions or sponsorships. The compliance rates ranged from 88.3% (no promotion) to 94.7% (no sponsorship). We provide sample pictures of the compliant and non-compliant POS in Figure 1. Among the POS chains, Alfamart retailers have the highest compliance rates of 90.5%, compared to Indomaret 84.4% and others 71.4%. Compared to other chains, the two big chains have significantly higher compliance rates (p=0.002 and p=0.021, for Alfamart and Indomaret, respectively). By subdistrict, East Bogor and North Bogor had the highest compliance rates of 96.3% and 89.3%, while Central Bogor and Tanah Sareal had the lowest of 74.2% and 72.7%, respectively. The two latter areas had the highest population density and poverty rates (Supplementary file). Compared to those in Central Bogor, the POS in East Bogor had significantly higher compliance rates (p=0.026).

Thus far, the results are spatially limited. Figure 2 shows the school buffer and hotspots of all POS and non-compliant POS with tobacco displays. As previously mentioned, we use ‘all POS’ as a proxy for what would have happened without the ban. Panel a, shows all POS (red dots) and 250 m dissolved buffers around schools (grey lines); Panel b, shows all non-compliant POS with displays (red dots) and subdistrict boundary (black lines); Panels c and d, show hot spots with significantly higher density of POS (red squares/cells). All the 266 POS were distributed throughout the city, of which many were within the 250 m school buffer. Hotspot analysis shows 66 red cells/squares, or hotspot area of about 32600 m2, particularly in the central city area (Panels a and c). Because of high compliance with the ban, the number of POS with tobacco displays decreased to 46 from 266, an 83% reduction . Hotspot analysis shows only 36 red cells/squares, or hotspot area of about 17800 m2, a 45% reduction (Panels b and d).

Table 3 shows all POS and non-compliant POS with tobacco displays around educational facilities (Panels a and b). Again, we use ‘all POS’ as a proxy for what would have happened without the ban. Columns 1–3 show the number/proportion of facilities with at least one POS inside a 250 m buffer; columns 4–6 show the number/proportion of POS inside the buffer; columns 7–9 show the number/proportion of facilities inside POS hotspots. Out of 699 schools, there were 235 (35% of total) that had at least one POS within the buffer and 171 (26%) inside a POS hotspot (Panel a). With the high compliance, there were 69 (10% of total schools) that had at least one POS with tobacco displays within the buffer, a 71% reduction, and 79 (12%) inside a POS hotspot, a 54% reduction. Also, of the 266 POS, there were 163 (61% of total) within the school buffer (Panel a), while with high compliance there were only 29 (11%), an 82% reduction (Panel b). Results are similar for universities.

POS: points-of-sale, refers here to modern cigarette retailers such as Indomaret and Alfamidi. Tobacco displays include product display and TAPS (tobacco adverts, promotion, and sponsorship). Buffer and hotspot analyses were conducted in ArcMap. Hotspot analysis used Getis-Ord Gi* statistics and shows significant cluster (95%) of higher number of POS with tobacco displays.

DISCUSSION

Bogor city introduced the ban on tobacco displays at POS (modern retailers) in October 2017. Immediately following the ban, we found a total compliance of 83% with all four criteria (product displays, advertisements, promotion, and sponsorship). We found an even higher compliance rate of 91% for product displays only. The high compliance rates were similar in other countries. Studies found very high compliance rates of 97% immediately following the implementation of the ban in Ireland (July 2009) and Norway (January 2010)13,14. Similarly, a study that compared Thailand with the ban, started in 2005, and Malaysia without the ban, showed that the reported exposure to product displays at POS was 17% and 83% in 2006, respectively12. A study on 96 retailers in Scotland just before the ban in 2013 showed high visibility of tobacco displays within outlets and from the public footway outside9.

We also found higher compliance rates among larger retail chains such as Indomaret and Alfamart, compared to the other brands. The higher compliance might be because of better internal communication of the circular distributed one week prior, including a potential shop closure penalty among larger chains. This evidence could provide lessons learned for other districts and countries to start the ban with modern retailers before traditional ones. However, traditional retailers tend to be more prevalent in low- and middle-income countries such as Indonesia. Given the aggressive marketing strategy of the tobacco industry toward youth22-24, the government should expand the ban beyond modern retailers. Furthermore, we found lower compliance with the ban among POS in areas that are more densely populated and impoverished. The possible reasons for non-compliance include not knowing about or not supporting the regulation ban. This may contribute to increased inequality in smoking prevalence among poorer youth21.

We found that the ban decreased the visibility and hotspots of POS with tobacco displays around educational facilities. The number of schools inside hotspots of POS with tobacco displays decreased by 54% and the number of POS with tobacco displays within school buffers decreased by 82%. This evidence is highly relevant because of higher exposure to tobacco displays among youth without the ban. A Scottish study just before the ban in 2013 showed 80% of 1482 students recalled seeing tobacco displays at POS9. Other studies have shown that such exposure is associated with youth smoking behavior. A survey of 1401 British youth showed that noticing tobacco displays was associated with higher levels of future intentions to smoke (susceptibility)11. Also, an experimental study among US adolescents showed that hiding tobacco displays significantly reduced susceptibility compared to leaving it exposed10.

For policy, our results provide evidence for initiating a ban on tobacco displays at POS in low-and middle-income country settings. Ideally, the ban covers the entire country or city, but at least near educational facilities to help stem the increasing trend of youth smoking20,25,26. In Indonesia, there are only a few districts that currently have some regulation for the ban. Concerted efforts are needed to increase policy adoption in 514 districts. However, reducing tobacco displays at POS is just one element of many MPOWER strategies such as increasing tobacco taxes, protecting from secondhand smoke, offering help to quit tobacco use, and warning about the dangers of tobacco27. Many of these strategies are beyond the power of a district government in Indonesia. Young people in Bogor and other districts continue to have access to radio, television and social media advertising tobacco products28. All this may contribute in diluting the effectiveness of the ban or other local tobacco control initiatives.

Limitations

Our study has some limitations. First, our study was conducted together with the local health authority one week after the circular was distributed, which included potential penalties for non-compliance. This may have made POS agree to comply. Thus, there is a need for a study to see whether the compliance would have decreased otherwise. Second, our POS sample was limited to modern retailers. While the visibility and hotspots of tobacco displays at modern retailers around educational facilities decreased with the ban, they may remain high at traditional retailers. Third, while geocoding really helped in our analysis, we could not find some cigarette POS. Further study should use a data collection app for smartphone or tablet to collect geolocations in the survey. Despite these limitations, our findings have important policy implications for Indonesia and beyond.

CONCLUSIONS

Immediately following the ban on tobacco displays at POS in Bogor city, the compliance was very high. However, POS in areas with higher population density and poverty rates had lower compliance. We also found evidence that the ban reduced the visibility and hotspots of tobacco displays at POS around schools and universities. All this provides evidence for policymakers to introduce and effectively implement the ban on tobacco displays at POS.
