Proposed Thai Laws for Vaping in Thailand

Sad to see the situation isn't improving much in LOS. Hopefully they'll taxing it would be a better option than chasing it.

I for sure completely stopped vaping outside my my when I'm in Bkk. I don't even dare taking my gear with me when going overseas. It just not worth the risk imo.

 

I buy gear locally wherever I go. If I have to go back to Bkk I will buy cheap gear and dump it before I leave. Otherwise I just keep it with me as the countries I traveled recently were vape friendly. I know live most of the time in Vietnam and vaping here is totaly legal.

Note that I don't bother buying expensive mods anymore, maybe because just I was used to feel I could not enjoy it freely outdoor. Now that I am in VN, i am tempted to treat myself again, knowing I won't have to dump it ^^

Good to talk to you again mon ami, it's been too long

 

My thoughts, pretty much same,Tibo.
Glad to hear you're in a vape friendly country, also.
UK (where I am, the days) is for the most part a mess at the moment, but Vaping is definitely not part of the problem.

Interesting article here (in Thai): เครือข่าย ECST ลุ้น พณ.ปลดล็อกแบนบุหรี่ไฟฟ้า เชื่อวิน-วินทุกฝ่าย!

Probably just speculation, but things could be going in a better direction. Translated with Google:

"On October 11, 61, Mr. Volunteer, "Tobacco Smokers" or "ECST" and Addin ' "What is the electric cigarette?" Said the Department of Commerce (PSC) is considering canceling the status of prohibited goods. Imported into the Kingdom of Baru Electric The Thai government has said that the ban on electric cigarettes will be beneficial to the country. "

 

Call to overturn ban on e-cigarettes in Thailand
Group calls for ban to be lifted and more regulations put in place as illegal market flourishes

 

Can't say I hold out much hope, the old guard make too much money poisoning the people with cigarettes.

Can anyone read Thai and make sense of this article?

"A. Commercial allows the electric cigarette to smoke in Thailand is not illegal.

"Department of Foreign Trade Ministry of Commerce Review of measures forbidding import of electric cigarettes Except for foreigners Foreign tourists must bring their own personal belongings and must not be imported. Selling electric cigarettes in Thailand"

ก.พาณิชย์ยินยอมให้นักท่องเที่ยวนนำบุหรี่ไฟฟ้ามาสูบส่วนตัวในไทยได้ ไม่ผิดกฎหมาย

 

Allowing to bring private gears into the country would be great, but what about vaping? This is still not allowed anywhere, not even where smoking is allowed, only in "privacy"

 

Let's hope this is going to lead to a more sensible approach. Not much point being 'Allowed to bring gear in', but technically breaking the Law if you use it.

Interesting....

As we 'falangs', who are in the eyes of immigration not permanent residents, only temporary.. Does this mean we can vape, but not sell?
