Smoking poses health risks, both to the smoker and those around them. Therefore, policies regulating tobacco use are necessary. Asian countries have different policies on smoking, such as those in Indonesia and Singapore. Therefore, this study focuses on analyzing and comparing smoking ban policies in Indonesia and Singapore through a literature review, in order to determine the effectiveness of the policies and their implementation, as well as the potential adoption of relevant policies for Indonesia in strengthening the smoking ban. This study uses a literature review method, which involves analyzing various existing literature sources to gain a broader understanding of the topic being studied. The policies regulating smoking bans in Indonesia and Singapore have several similarities, but also significant differences. Singapore has strict law enforcement related to cigarettes, while in Indonesia the law enforcement system is still weak because cigarettes are a source of state revenue that makes a positive contribution. This shows the importance of strengthening smoking ban policies, especially in Indonesia, in relation to the implementation of policies that have been enacted.
