Report Mobile Liquor Labs Roll Out for Safer Thai Booze
Its great mixed in equal measures with a Whisky in the cold weather of the UK at Christmas... But going back to your earlier comments: I think you've been particularly selective here... Of course there is a spectrum and a line somewhere where someones vice can become a burden to society, some more so than others.. but I'll compare 'smoking, alcohol and diet' and show that your comments, while valid, are also slightly misplaced when regarding a bigger picture. Smoking generates complex burden on the UK economy, both through direct healthcare spending and wider societal costs. £2.2 billion in direct costs to the NHS for treating smoking-related illnesses, including cancers, respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular conditions. £1.4 billion in social care costs associated with supporting individuals suffering from smoking-related chronic diseases. £17.6 billion in indirect costs due to lost productivity, sickness absence, premature death, and additional burdens on the welfare system. £0.6 billion from smoking-related fire damage and associated emergency services. Total Economic Burden: £21.8 billion per year in England alone. Tobacco Tax Revenue: Approximately £8.8 billion annually, which does not fully offset the broader societal costs. Alcohol does have a significant societal cost with a substantial economic burden on the UK: In England alone, alcohol-related harm costs society approximately £27.4 billion per year, as reported by the Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS) in 2024. This includes £4.9 billion in NHS and healthcare costs, covering hospital admissions, ambulance services, and treatments for alcohol-related conditions. The criminal justice system bears £14.6 billion in costs due to alcohol-related crimes, including violence, theft, and criminal damage.ias.org.uk Lost productivity and social care services account for the remaining £7.9 billion, reflecting absenteeism, unemployment, and support for affected families. It's also important to note that alcohol tax revenues, estimated at £12.5 billion annually, which falls short short of covering these societal costs. The growing economic burden of processed foods: A 2024 report by the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission (FFCC) estimates that unhealthy diets - particularly those high in ultra-processed foods - cost the UK economy approximately £268 billion annually. This figure encompasses both direct and indirect costs. £92 billion in direct government expenditures on health and social care services addressing diet-related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. £176 billion in indirect costs, including reduced productivity, welfare spending, and the human costs associated with chronic illnesses and premature mortality. Notably, ultra-processed foods constitute over half of the UK adult diet and nearly two-thirds of the adolescent diet, contributing significantly to the nation's health issues. As noted above: The cost of processed foods to the UK economy is 10x greater than that of Alcohol and Tobacco. I use the UK example because there are no figures for Thailand, yet those figures in principle can be transferable across nations. Thus: If you want to ban smoking and alcohol for the purposes of public health - where do you draw the line ? especially when we can see how far more damaging processed foods are to society... There’s another dimension to consider: I’ve played sports all my life and maintained good health and fitness throughout. Yet now, I face an additional burden - injuries that require medical treatment. Should my sporting activities have been subject to higher taxes to help offset these emerging healthcare costs? This raises the perennial question: where do we draw the line between what is acceptable and what crosses into excess? Perhaps the answer lies in accepting our humanity - that people will naturally seek out activities they enjoy. If someone chooses to smoke, so be it, provided it doesn’t harm others. Yes, smoking does impose an economic burden, but there are far weightier challenges society must address first. Personally, I would not want to live in a society that exerts such rigid control over its citizens’ choices. -

Thai bank - restricting incoming amounts of foreign funds
I bank with Chase in the US, and I had to actually go to a branch to set up/turn on my online international swift transfers, but since I did, it's been great.
