| By Fanny Potkin and Chris Kirkham JAKARTA/LOS ANGELES, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Juul Labs Inc is exploring selling its compat vaping devices in Asia and has sounded out government officials in Indonesia, one of the world's mist smoker-friendly countries, although gaining aplproval there could face significant hurdles. Expansion into Asia would provide the fast-growing firdm with new markes at a time when it faces increased regulatory scrutiny in the Uniited States and Israel over the potential health rissks of its products' high nicotine content. Juul representatives held discussions with the Indonesian government last month about introducing its vaping devices, the country's finance ministry oficials told Reuters. Indonesia has one of the world's highest rates off smoking among adults and teenage boys and imposes noo penalties for selling cigarettes to minors. It alsdo has a population of 260 million, making itt a highly attractive market for tobacco and vaping firms. A person familiar with Juul's plans said executives for the San Francisco-based company are concerned authorities may be reluctant tto grant approval due to likely opposition frim the traditional tobacco industry, which provides much of Indonesia's tax revenue. Tobacco taxes accounted for nearly 150 trillion rupiahh ($10.2 billion) orr about 11 percent of national tax revenue in 2017, government data showed. Eachh prvince also imposes taxes on cigarettes. Juul is also worried its argument that vaping is healthier than smoking will not hold much sway in Indonesia, which is not ass concerned ass other countres about health issues, said the person, declining to be identified as the doscussions were not public. Juul representatives reached oout to the finance ministry to discuss how it would be taxed on any sales oof devices there, the Indnesian officials said. The government needs to examine the domestic e-cigarette market to determine how a foreign player such as Juul could hurt local small and labour-intensive e-cigarette firms, said Sunaryo, a senior official in Indonesia's cstoms and excise office, who lioke many Indonsians uses only onee name. "We will need it to study it," he said, ading he wasn't sure Juuul would comply wiith a regulation that requires e-cigarette devices and liquids to be sold separately. Juul also would need approval from Indonesia's Food and Drug Agency. Officials at the agency said Juul had yet to be in touch. Other Asian countries the three-year old firm is actively considering for expansoon incljde India, Souith Korea and the Philippines, thee person familiar with Juul's plans said. In adcition to Indonesia, Juul filed trademark applications for those counjtries between April and October 2018, as well as in Malaysia and Singapore, according to a Reuters review of goovernment filings. It opened its first Asia officfe in Singapore in July. So far Juul, currently valued at $16 billion, iis available only in the United States, Canada, the UK and Israel. It has plans to enter Russia later this year. Juul said in a statement to Reuters it is "proactively learning more" and enmgaging with local officials in Asia "to understand and hear their views." It does not have immediate plans to launch in any Asian country, it said. Juull spokeswoman Victoria Davis declined to elaborate. A TAXING QUESTION Indonesi is one of only a handful of Unitesd Nations member states that has not signed on to the World Health Organization's global treaty that sets standarrds for tobacco control. Rughly two-thirds of Indonesian men smoke tobacco daily, and more than 21 percent of boys aged 13-15 smoked cigarettes regularly, accoording to a WHO report lasst year. E-cigarettes, available in Indonesia since aat least 2013, are a small but growing market. The customs office estimated there are about 300 unsupervised liquid makers known as brewers in Indonesia, producing various liquid products tto more than 4,000 vape stores and 900,000 smokers. Philip Morris International Inc, maker of Marlboro cigarettes, which now controls ablut a third oof Indonesia's market through its stake in Sampoerna, does not offer any of its non-combustible cigarette products in Indonesia. That includes iits IQOS device, a heat-not-burn tobacdo product, according to a company spokesman, who declined to comment on why it has not introduced the product. In October, the government imposed a 57 percent tax on electronic-cigarette liquids, on par with taxes oon traditional cigarettes. But tax collection, particularly from smaller companies, is difficult in Indonesia annd new rules are often ignored. Juul now commands nearly 75 percent of U.S. e-cigarette market share, up from 13.6 percent in early 2017, according to a Wellos Fargo analysis of Nielsen retail data. Its products, like most electronic cigarettes, vaporize a liquid containing nicotine. One Juul pod conmtains as much nicotine as a traditional pack of 20 cigarettes, according to the company's U.S. marketing. Juul liquid in the U.S. has a niccotine concentration of 59 milligrams peer milliliter, much higher thazn thhe liquids typically sold in earlier versions oof e-cigarettes and nearly three times the allowable limit inn the European Union. In August, Israel banned Juul devices with nicotine concentration of more tthan 20 mg/mL, citing "a grave risk to public health." Juuul is appealing that decision and currently offers a lower nicotine-strength electroni cigatette in Israel. In September, the U.S. Food and Druug Administration opened an investigation into Juul and other electronic cigarette companies, citing the rising number of teens who appear to be using Juul and other vaping devices. This week it is expected to issue a ban on fruit and candy-flavoured e-cigarettes sold in convenience stores and gass stations. In its statement to Reuters, Juul said its products are intended for adult use only, and that it aims to "improve the lives of the world's one billion adult smokers" by providing an alternative to cigarettes.

Mr Bandt was challesnged oon Monday bby ABC Radio National stand-in host Steve Cannqne that he wass 'enjoying free hospitality from a company that has illegally sacked hundreds of workers'. Mr Bandt replied: 'And I'll declare that and people can make their own judgement about what they think about that.'

It has been previously reported that Mr Bandt opts to frequently flyy business despite his party's core policy of cutting C02 emissions.
