The Excise Department of Thailand has launched the "QR Cigarette" system, a high-tech solution to track and trace cigarette products and combat tax evasion. Deputy Finance Minister Dr. Paopoom Rojanasakul unveiled the system on 15 November 2024 at the Tobacco Authority of Thailand in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province.
The innovative system uses QR codes on excise stamps, allowing officials and the public to verify whether tobacco products comply with tax regulations. By scanning the QR code, users can access detailed product information, such as brand, manufacturer, tax payment date, shipping location, and price.
This ensures that consumers can confirm the authenticity and legality of their purchases. Products with inconsistent or missing data should be avoided, as they may be counterfeit and pose health risks.
Dr. Paopoom highlighted that the excise stamps feature advanced anti-counterfeiting technology similar to that used in banknote printing. Each stamp includes a unique QR code and serial number to enhance transparency and traceability. This approach aligns with international standards and bolsters tax collection efficiency.
The QR Cigarette system contributes to creating a comprehensive big data platform, aiding the Excise Department in policy-making and enforcement. Additionally, it enables public participation in monitoring the market, fostering confidence in the quality and safety of tobacco products.
Consumers can report suspicious items directly to the department via a built-in alert feature on their mobile devices.

The initiative supports Thailand's governance and transparency policies under the Excise Department's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy, aiming to promote economic growth while addressing environmental and social concerns.
Dr. Paopoom emphasised that the system represents a significant step towards modernising the country's tax administration and ensuring public safety.

LOL, it's the right who are going to be running around like chooks with no head after electing the worst president in history for the second time. If you think the left wing are all misandrists you really have a problem. Hilarious really. Real men don't need to hate on women for anything. Think about that for a while. The reverse is true also. 555.
