"Nicotine is more toxic than cyanide."

​Lol at this scaremongering rubbish.

Yes, nicotine is more toxic than any other poison - depending on the bloody dosage and how it's administered!

Nicotine is lethal at between 0.5 and 1 gram. Nicotine is also present in a hell of a lot of things that we all eat, tomatoes, potatoes, aubergines and most of the edible nightshade family. Should we ban those foods too, make them illegal?

Hello to all btw, I'm new here - should have said that in my first post, please excuse my rudeness.

Hang on a mo guys... If you're in denial regarding the validity of ecigs being the biggest life saver of the 21st century (which they will be) then trust in Public Health England:

Don't believe the FDA or WHO - both are funded hugely by big tobacco.

I introduced my Father to ecigs after he'd smoked 60-80 a day for 60 years. He quit tobacco on day one of ecig use and over time reduced his nicotine levels - he's been smoke and vape free now for over two years. Ok, this is anecdotal, yes - but I see stories like this everyday as I work in the industry. I started vaping a few years back and have reduced my nicotine from 24mg to 3mg. I have no plans for an endgame with vaping, as I believe in some of the studies which claim that nicotine may suppress Alzheimers and nicotine is on par with caffeine in the poison stakes.

I find this new clampdown hugely problematic for many reasons - the major one being the fact that The Thai Tobacco Monopoly is the only entity which will gain, while thousands die every year in Thailand from smoking related illnesses and will continue to die without trying vapiing as a smoking cessation device.

Vaping saves lives - it's as simple as that.

I'm visiting my Dad in Pattaya in early July for ten days. I'm now very worried to take any vaping paraphernalia with me at all - I wonder how soon it will be before the police make an example out of a vaping farang visiting Thailand?
