Officers of the Consumer Protection Division police swooped on a shop called Infinity in Kutpong sub-district of Muang Loei, north eastern Thailand.

 

A man called Komen, 24, admitted selling e-cigarettes and vaping fluid contrary to the law.

 

He had set up a clothing store as a front to the illegal activity behind.

 

He was charged under laws related to electronic cigarettes and shisha products, reported INN. 

 

Some 200,000 baht of merchandise was seized in the raid following complaints of illegal activity received by the CPD. 

 

The suspect was pictured pointing at the cache, lest there be any doubt.

Strange that in most countries E cigarettes are quite legal and Marijuana is illegal, yet paradoxically in Thailand its the other way around?????
