Yeap it looks to me that other countries are concerned with their own defficiencies. No mask, no tests, no beds... Still now in France or USA. So they look down to slow down things. Virus is almost everywhere of course.

When tests, masks, beds, etc. will be finally ready, lock-down will make no sense anymore.

May well be something as China also banned smoking in public back in January in Chengdu,Sichuan province. Having said that, it was kinda futile since the city was on lockdown and you needed a passcard to leave your apartment.

Still it's no evidence. But could explain. The guy just copied Chineese.

Dont hold yer breath....

But what am i allowed to do then ? ???? Can not exhale here, can not breath there...

I will start to FART in public closed place, in protest ! Airplanes, buses. A teeth for a teeth. Smell that ! Ha ha !

I will eat cheese and drink wine (still allowed) together for that purpose (i am not a natural, and i don't drink actually, neither eat americancheesecopy - i'm French, we know the real cheeses ???? and the real wines ???? No latino copies either damn !!! -). Some choucroute too ha ha that will be something... Pâtés, cassoulets, everything it takes !

I will FART hard to protest ! Everywhere ! No smoking ? Take that fart !

For your safety, let me smoke instead ! ????

I use VitC, and Ginseng, everyday, no side effects.

Not been sick last 10 years since i do that, traveling in many hot countries, except allergies, but before i had a few times flu, malaria, dengue 1 time.

Ginseng is strangely not known in Thailand. Comes from China old times, and South Corea produce the best. Hard to find only ginseng here and good quality. Ginsana (Suiss brand i know kind of crazy the travel the ingredient and product must make), some pharmacy or even supermarket sometimes have it.

Vit C natural, from Acerola and other fruits, Vistra brand, easy to find here.

Its updated from 2018....No more smoking in public in Thailand..thats about it...

FIO....Section 42 of the Tobacco Product Control Act B.E. 2560

 

Proscribed by the Minister upon recommendation of the Committee. Chapter 5 Protection of Non-Smoker’s Health r Section 41.

 

The Minister upon recommendation of the Committee shall have the power to prescribe the types and names of public areas, workplaces and vehicles, any part thereof or the whole, as non-smoking areas.

The Minister upon recommendation of the Committee may prescribe smoking areas within the non-smoking areas under paragraph one.

Section 42 No one shall smoke in the non-smoking area, except in the smoking area designated under Section 41, paragraph two

Thanks for the info.

So if i do understand... there are still smoking area.

Of course non-smoking area too.

What about the no-sign area ? Like in the street ? Diesel can smoke, farmers can burn entire fields, food-street can make smoke, people can burn their trash, so do i guess i still can smoke in those environnements ? Not that i spend too much time there, but still, i like to know.

The obvious thing to do is respect both way. What <deleted> me off is the "chasse aux sorcières" initiated by USA years ago but has spread all over the world, that goes extreme, stupid, without respect for freedom. It's both way, otherwise it's just totalitarism.

Not to mention the lack of scientific evidence here.

And, again and again i will say, the comparison to the huge other pollutions, air pollution alone killing more than smoking. And there is scientific datas for this. I do not see many anti-smoker talk about that, it's like... in French we have a expression "the tree that hide the forest". Many focus on the tree (the smoker), but are in denial of the forest burning ! (huge fires, other fires, global warming, chemicals, etc.).

Targeting scapegoats has never been wise, but somehow intelligent from elites in power, it's a very primitive technique but that works... with primitive people ! I am not talking about Thaïland here... They copy what many other countries do for many more things (yet).

I don't care (i mean...), my point being i need a minimum of freedom ! And a world not on fire !

Sorry, missed it indeed ???? 

My GF not here, i am weaning (if i got the right word) - for her smoking -, makes me not happy ???? Ho, no, withdrawal, hooo...

Only if you have the TM66, witch depends on the TM00, not to mention the TM99, obviously.

You must prove you got a shower in the last 1h via a letter from the pope.

And well, if the cop is not too hungry.

I wonder how China failed to pick up on this important detail, given the fact that in recent years they've produced and consumed 30% of the world's cigarettes. 

Important detail ?

The guy said, that's all until now.

ANY scientific back-up ?

But still : i can smoke on the street or not ? 

Where is the smoking law ? ????

I did not find his article 42. Anyone knows ?

Yeap. Medias are medias. But people are people too. It's a vicious circle.

Agree.

But this pandemy is SUDDEN, and nobody knows how hard it will hit. I think that's what scare people. Like terrorism, brutal, sudden, but low numbers.

Compared to what kills people. Pollution being the worst. Nobody cares.

The plural virii is not correct. At most it could be the plural for virius, and only in the right circumstances. Let's stick to 'viruses'.

And Virus is Latin, and French.

Like a large proportion of english words.
