Thailand – The Thai Department of Disease Control has announced a new regulation requiring all cigarette and tobacco retailers nationwide to display campaign media aimed at reducing, stopping, and quitting smoking and tobacco use at their points of sale. This mandate will take effect on August 21st.

Retailers are encouraged to participate in the “#Quit Smoking for Your Loved Ones” campaign by displaying the designated media at their tobacco retail locations. Business operators can obtain the campaign materials through two channels:

1. **Ready-to-use media**: Available at all Excise Department offices nationwide.

2. **Downloadable prototype media**: Accessible from the Tobacco Product Control Committee’s website at http://ddc.moph.go.th/otpc/journal_d

 

Failure to comply with this requirement will result in a fine not exceeding 5,000 baht, as stipulated in Section 36, Paragraph Three, of the Tobacco Product Control Act B.E. 2560.
