Thailand should strengthen its monitoring and enforcement of e-cigarettes, according to World Health Organization representative Jos Vandelaer, reports The Nation.

 

Speaking at the Thai Health Promotion Foundation on Dec. 18, Vanderlaer praised the kingdom’s decision to prohibit vaping in the country.

 

However, because vaping is still widespread in Thailand, he believes the government must do a better job of enforcing the law.

Vandelaer rejected the notion that e-cigarettes are an effective smoking cessation tool, as claimed by tobacco harm reduction activists.

T.A.T would say that enforcing the ban on vaping would be less damaging than enforcing laws on prostitution.  

 

Expect this ministry to come  up with a plan involving vocational schools for Isaan girls.

One small point. Vaping is not illegal anymore.

The section banning it was removed in the 2019 update of the Consumer Protection Act. However, it remains illegal to import them. But that's a function of the Customs Act.

Correct, right from corrupt pillock Tedros (WHO President) downwards. Unfortunately, they (like those other Globalist acronyms) seem to be ever expanding their pernicious influence over sovereign nations.

Stop by Jomtien Beach some morning at 5:30 (if they get up that early). Lot's of people to arrest.
