Tobacco and the Tobacco Products Industry have a strategic role in improving the community's economy, absorbing labor, and state or regional revenues from both the tax and excise sectors, especially for East Java which is the main Tobacco producing region and is a center for IHT. However, this commodity and sector have continued to experience a quantitative decline over time. This is due to strict control policies in the Tobacco and IHT sectors and the still weak protection and empowerment of Tobacco Farmers and business actors in the IHT sector. Therefore, this sector requires regulatory support that can provide guarantees of protection and business continuity both in the on-farm and off-farm sectors. The application of the Archipelagic Principle in the Content Material of Regional Regulations on the Protection and Empowerment of Farmers and the Tobacco Products Industry in the Form of Regulations in East Java is reflected in the provisions of the articles in the Regional Regulation of East Java Province Number 8 of 2024 concerning the Development and Protection of Tobacco. which is based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution and applies the principles of the Unitary State.
