Article Synopsis
- Health tax policies aimed at reducing harmful consumption and improving public health are gaining global attention but face challenges, especially in Indonesia's decentralized governance context.
- A qualitative study involving 12 focus groups examined government, NGO, and consumer perspectives on taxes for tobacco, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), and alcohol, revealing consumers' awareness of health risks varies significantly.
- The findings highlight the need for better policy communication, allocation of health tax revenues for public health, and recognition that health taxes must be part of a broader public health strategy, including measures like advertising restrictions.
