Why is Vaping illegal in Thailand?

Thailand has made cannabis "legal" but not vaping. I am not sure how vaping is worse than cannabis. Are there any reasons behind it?

 

The Tobacco Authority of Thailand, otherwise known as the Tobacco Monopoly is very strong in Thailand....  owned by the Ministry of Finance. 

 

Ultimately, legalising vape would eat into the 'big tobacco' profits...

Even funnier is what about 'dry herb' weed vapes ?? 

So smoking weed is ok in every other format, but smoking weed in a vape isnt ?? 

I cannot understand Thailand at all! I am sure smoking weed is as bad as a vape.

Maybe not such a bad idea.

Many young patients sustain 'significant lung injury' after only short periods of vaping, doctors say

Yeah, most young people, especially Thai students, have vape in their hands. During their free time, they would smoke vape just for fun.

I think the vaping ban in Thailand is mostly about health concerns and regulation. They’ve got strict rules around nicotine products, and vaping just falls into that category. It’s interesting because while cannabis has become legal there, vaping is still seen as a different issue. From what I’ve heard, they’re trying to manage nicotine use and its potential risks more tightly.

I think originally it was a 'tax' thing.   Now it's a health concern, but when enforced, I think it's still a tax thing.  Not sure if law been passed yet banning due to health.
