Bangkok Barry Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I like to watch YouTube videos of people out for the evening in Bangkok and they show very many people using e cigs. Strangely, 100% of them using are women. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is up to you, to decide what should or should not be banned and what should be used instead? Did i get that correct? Any reason why cars should not be banned from the streets? or processed foods? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there is some really stupid movement going around the world that kids are using e-cigs because they have so many flavors. Just the do-gooders destroying peoples lives again. E-cigs are a godsend compared to regular cigs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim207 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Strange how people are quick to say things that dont effect them should be banned but scream about any restriction on things that would impact them. Authoritarian a-holes are going to be authoritarian a-holes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

userabcd Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 But still see people smoking these things everywhere albeit they seem to try and do it furtively. Whatever happened to the situation in the news pre covid where many people were getting some kind of lung infection and dying from that. It was at one time all over the news but disappeared whe covid reared its head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommysboy Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 It's their country. The fact that they have been utterly misinformed about e-cigarettes is sad- thousands of lives could be saved as in the UK. But what can you do? We have to live with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People smoking and puffing on these things on public sidewalks and blowing out their steamy or smoking vapour on others should be fined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JonnyF Posted January 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2022 Fortunately for my health I ignored the law on this and switched to e-cigarettes about 5 years ago. I was then able to wean myself off them gradually and haven't smoked at all for about 4 years. They are a great tool for quitting. Which is probably why they will remain illegal in Thailand since the government collects the tax and then gives very little back to help the people who suffer health problems as a result of smoking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
