Good to see progress being made on this front.

It's absolutely wrong to jail and fine vapers so heavily.

As long as strict quality standards are maintained vape liquids are

not any more dangerous than, say, cigarettes.

They shouldn't use Diketones and absolutely none of that illegal THC stuff please.

maybe you should try it if you are tempted to smoke again.

I don't want to start vaping.

 

I just get over the urges with a little self control.

 

I notice less people smoke than even 5 years ago.

 

Horrible habit, and expensive.

Your welcome.

 

 

This number is for illegal THC vapes, not e cigarettes as you think, it has nothing to do with normal e liquids. I don t think you checked your source or you don t understand what we are talking about.

 

By the way, even if this number was real which is not, take alook at this from the CDC, you are more than welcome:

 

https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/fast_facts/index.htm#diseases

 

  • Worldwide, tobacco use causes more than 7 million deaths per year.2 If the pattern of smoking all over the globe doesn’t change, more than 8 million people a year will die from diseases related to tobacco use by 2030.3
  • Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including more than 41,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure. This is about one in five deaths annually, or 1,300 deaths every day.1
  • On average, smokers die 10 years earlier than nonsmokers.4
  • If smoking continues at the current rate among U.S. youth, 5.6 million of today’s Americans younger than 18 years of age are expected to die prematurely from a smoking-related illness. This represents about one in every 13 Americans aged 17 years or younger who are alive today.1

I don't think smoking vapors is good for you.

 

I definitely wouldn't want any of my family or loved ones doing it.

 

Best thing is not to do it.

I am not saying it s good for you, I m saying it should not be banned.

 

It s not smoking, it s vaping, and it s not about kids who should stay away from it anyway, but adults who want to quit smoking. It s like for weed, everybody always talks about kids to try to ban it for adults, we are not kds.

Has this guy ever seen what happens when they explode? Maybe he should try it first.  

 

 

yes, stupid people do stupid things all over the world ... phones and laptops do explode also, it is a problem with lithium batteries, no matter what device they are used into, this has nothing to do with vaping

to let people that vapes in other countries visit the country and avoid smoking? to give an alternative to thai smokers much more healthy than tobacco?

moreover, vaping is not stupid, much more stupid, in terms of health issues, is drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes

Personally it annoys me that my better half has to turn to regular cigarettes when we are in Thailand, because she can't vape there.

It was not a problem on our first 7 or 8 vacations in Thailand, but then suddenly vaping was an issue.

 

I wonder what made it change so suddenly a few years ago.

The Thai tobacco monopoly noticed it was impacting their sales I expect. Coincidentally saw a Thai lady vaping last night, not seen any for ages.

Nicotine IS LEGAL! Why outlaw the mode of delivery???  This is like allowing people to ingest caffeine through coffee but outlawing it through caffeinated sodas! Makes NO SENSE at all! Especially when you are not consuming tar and carcinogens when you vape! Now which choice is stupid?
