Thailand Warns Vaping Could Lead to 5 Years in Prison

The Thai government has intensified its crackdown on e-cigarettes, commonly known as vapes, warning that individuals caught possessing or using these devices could face up to five years in prison and substantial fines. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who previously supported the legalization of vaping during her election campaign, has reversed her stance in response to growing health concerns and reports of adverse effects associated with e-cigarette use. Authorities are encouraging the public to report instances of vaping through an official mobile application, aiming to curb the proliferation of these devices. This stringent approach has sparked debate among health professionals, policymakers, and the public regarding the effectiveness of prohibition versus regulation in addressing vaping-related health issues.
