In a shocking turn of events at Watjunprasit School, Ban Phai district, 13-year-old Khon Kaen student Oam has been relocated for his safety after repeated assaults by a fellow student, 16-year-old Lek, due to a broken vaping device. This incident has spurred heightened scrutiny over teenage e-cigarette use and prompted Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra to demand aggressive action against illegal vape sales.

 

Reports surfaced when videos showing the assaults circulated, leading to a decisive meeting involving school officials to move Oam to a secure boarding school. Oam's mother, deeply concerned and preparing to leave their home, supported the relocation for her son's protection and rehabilitation.

 

 

The issue has further exposed the growing challenge of illegal e-cigarette circulation among teenagers. In a recent meeting at Government House, Minister Jiraporn Sindhuphrai announced that over 666 individuals had been arrested and significant quantities of vaping products seized, demonstrating the government's commitment to tackling this rising problem.

 

Additionally, details about Lek's troubled past, including drug use and aggression, highlight the broader social issues intersecting with this incident. Oam’s sudden change of school and home aims to offer him a fresh start and rid him of vaping influence, while emphasizing the broader implications of teenage e-cigarette consumption and attending risks, reported The Thaiger.
