Vaping troubles: British tourists warned of costly holiday mistake
British tourists heading abroad this summer are being warned of a costly mistake that could ruin their holiday. E-cigarette smokers need to be aware of strict anti-vaping laws in popular South East Asian destinations. The penalties for breaking these rules range from hefty fines to imprisonment. Countries like Thailand and Singapore have some of the strictest vaping bans in the world. In Thailand, vaping has been prohibited since 2014. Unwitting tourists caught with an e-cigarette could face fines of up to 30,000 baht or, in severe cases, a prison sentence of up to 10 years. Singapore also enforces tough regulations, with fines reaching up to 2,000 Singapore dollars (around 50,000 baht) for possessing a vaping device. According to the Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance (SEATCA), five out of 10 countries in the region ban e-cigarettes. These include not only Thailand and Singapore but also places like Brunei, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, where even possessing a vape for commercial purposes is illegal. Elsewhere, vaping restrictions are widespread. In Cyprus, vaping in public or a private vehicle with a minor can result in fines of up to 850 euros (around 30,000 baht). Hungary fines vapers up to US$980 (around 35,000 baht) for using e-cigarettes in non-smoking areas. Meanwhile, in Italy, vaping is allowed, except in the Vatican City, where it’s entirely banned, reported The Mirror UK. Dan Marchant, Director of Vape Club gave his advice. “Vaping laws are constantly changing. Travellers must check local regulations before their trip to avoid severe penalties. In some cases, illegal vaping products can pose additional risks. Always bring your own devices and supplies when allowed and pack them in carry-on luggage to comply with airline rules.” In related news, authorities in Thailand are set to take decisive action against the illegal use of e-cigarettes, emphasising the need to protect children from the health risks associated with vaping. Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul declared that the country has ignored the issue for too long, during an event commemorating World No Tobacco Day on May 31. by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of The Mirror UK Source: The Thaiger 2024-08-01 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

The most sensible comment from a politician "I want them to stop dying"
I am not a Putin supporter but I understand why he launched his Special Military Operation. Quite a few of you need to do some research on the subject as you don't have a clue what's actually going on. The movie, Ukraine on Fire is a good place to start. Unlike most on here I look at both sides of the argument and I don't get my information from the Mockingbird MSM. Look at any of Zelensky's speeches and you will see what I mean. -

Worth a shot. I was also thinking of showing them a report from my billing software such as a customer list by state/country. Creating a business website can be done quite easily using a template, so I suspect they would want to see a little more than that. -

Must Read Urgent call for O-negative blood donations in Phuket
A call for urgent blood donations has been issued by the RH-Emergency Donation group to aid a Frenchman in dire need of O-negative blood. The plea highlights the scarcity of this blood type among the Thai population, underscoring the importance of donations from Westerners. This urgent request was made through a Facebook post, emphasising the critical need for O-negative blood to save a life. The Phuket Red Cross has been designated as the official donation site. Recent updates from the organisation have lifted previous restrictions, now allowing donors from the United Kingdom, France, and Ireland to contribute. The eligibility requirements for donating blood were outlined by the group, stressing the importance of contributions. “The need for O Negative blood is critical. By donating, you have the potential to save a life. Thank you for your generosity and support.” This call to action seeks to mobilise the community and international visitors in Phuket to step forward and help meet this urgent medical need, reported Phuket News. In related news, Phuket Regional Blood Centre (Phuket RBC) issued an urgent call for blood donors of all types to help increase the blood supply during the Songkran holidays. To incentivise donors, the centre is offering free Give Blood Save Life T-shirts to those who donate blood at their Phuket Town offices between April 9 and 16. The initiative is designed to bring brightness and cheer during the Songkran festivities, according to an announcement by the Phuket RBC. However, the need for blood is urgent and serious, as the centre’s reserves for transfusions are critically low. In other news, a Valentine’s Day blood donation drive was announced in Phuket, a collaboration between Vachira Phuket Hospital and Limelight Phuket. The event, scheduled on February 14, was an open invitation to locals and tourists alike, to replenish medical blood reserves. by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of Thai Red Cross Society via Phuket News Source: The Thaiger 2024-08-01 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.
