No, that's what happens when you live in a 3rd world country, where corruption rules.    Lax enforcement, because of.   If not mistaken, all is available in plain view for those wanting to indulge.

 

Along with ignorant consumers, buying inexpensive, sub standard equipment.

 

These are all vape shops ... illegal you say 

 

None of is open, guess you don't Vape, have to order via line to deliver

For reference for any vapers who may decide to visit Cambodia: (Khmer Times 24/10/2025)

 

The government has ordered a ban on the import, distribution, sale, advertising, use, possession, production, and storage of electronic smoking devices and shisha. The prohibition aims to maintain social order, and protect public health—especially the health of students and educational staff.

This tragedy marks Thailand’s first confirmed death linked to a vaping device.

Interesting. Interesting because the whole vape crackdown happened after that young girl in Nakhon Ratchasima (If I remember correctly) apparently died from vape use.

The only ignorance here is your ignorance of the vape situation in Thauiland.

I'll agree to that, as I'm way to intelligent to be vaping any of the crap they're selling.   I don't even smoke weed any more.   Never was dumb enough to smoke cigarettes.

 

It took decades for the truth about cigarette (tobacco) dangers to be exposed, and can't imagine the chemicals inhaled / ingested by you vapers.  Is that industry even regulated, GOOD LUCK.

 

It takes a special kind of stupid to vape ... IMHO

Deflecting from the point and the point is vapes aren't available for all to see as you stated. The entire retail sector was closed down. Only available online now.

Yeah, that’s what happens when you push stuff underground by making it illegal, where there’s no oversight or regulations on these devices. 

And then the Chinese jump in and pour junk into the market.

Cigs are ok though. The "health" line is soooooo see through. Protect tobacco companies and tax stream.

I get it, been enlightened, but still easily available to any and all that want.   You think some of the weed shops selling buds they're not suppose to, might have all the vaping crap one might want ???

 

All the weed shops are apparently back to normal, why, apparently complying ...

... with regulation

... with brown envelopes

 

Don't know, don't care, but I can guess which is more applicable in real life.

 

Enjoy your vices, as easy enough for others to avoid.

 

I'll continue to fly my drones legally 

I'll continue to not take photos in restricted areas  

Of course, I'll always observe the traffic law   

 

3rd World ... got to love it or leave it.   I'm Staying

USA ... Love it or Leave it ... I left

A fatal incident has occurred in Northeast Thailand, where a 47-year-old man died after his e-cigarette exploded while he was fishing.

 

The alcohol he had been drinking, made the alkohol fumes  made the viping thing to explode?

Well, if it was legal, you'd have better quality vapes to buy instead of the cheap unsafe black market s.it!

Well, I don't know about Thailand, but usually when you put devices on the market, they have to be up to par in quality and they will have to be tested idependantly before you can sell them, unlike the black market s.it!
