Vaping legal or not in Thailand?

I am surprised there has been no loud protesting from the Chinese.
Their numbers are the largest for tourism to Thailand, and it is a well known fact they are also the largest consumers of tobacco in the world. Hence it would seem to me they probably now have the world`s largest number of vapers.
The Chinese do love a smoke, so any statistics yet of them being caught in the BIB vaping firing line?
As a country desperate to increase tourism it would seem daft of the Thai rulers to alienate such a vast potential market, ... or am I talking nonsense?

 

As far as I know vaping isn’t huge over in China. Most smokers are still pretty naive to it all which is ironic since 90% of all vape gear comes from China.

Yes of course the vast majority of Chinese tourists are encompassed within the guided tours,

BUT as they traipse through the sois following the flag, I wouldnt be surprised if the vapers cast envious looks at those others freely lighting up their Marlboros as they trek across the pavements
PLUS there has to be quite a number of potential visitors who are dissuaded from touring immediately it sinks in that vaping is outlawed.
I`m not so sure about it being an insignificant minority, as yet, who vape, but even if it were so, that those embracing the e-cigs is currently small, you only have to look at how rapidly (worldwide) numbers rise once the idea is sown.

Wow, you googled that all by yourself?

 

Conjecture !!

 

Any updates on the vaping issue in Thailand? Or is it still the same?

 

Nothing has changed. Nothing will change until the people making a fortune from the sale and taxing of tobacco figure out how to make money from vaping. That will likely include some large taxes on vaping products but there must be much more to compensate them for losing tobacco sales. A simple look at who benefits from the status quo explains it all.

 

Wow, having got that off your chest, I bet you`re feel a lot better in yourself now ............... or is this "conjecture"?

 

Being a law-abiding citizen I am forced to follow the non-vaping rule in public or in my own vehicles, for whatever the government's reasoning whether I agree or not. I also understand that importing, buying, selling, etc. is considered illegal with consequences of fines and jail time. But, is my understanding correct that you may vape in your own home? I watched this youtube vid which was quite interesting where the cops told the drivers that you can vape at home...

I agree he did lead the cop a bit, but the police man clearly said 'you can smoke in your room', whatever that implies. I assume whatever you do at home is ok as long as you don't get caught, right? I guess I am being a bit pedantic here.
