Electronic cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, undermine national security.

due to the “public health disaster of the e-cigarette epidemic among British children and young people”

Prime Minister Settha asks the Ministry of Public Health, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Higher Education to jointly issue measures to prevent the spreadelectronic cigarettes cigarettes among Thai children and youth

and demand that relevant agencies come together to crack down on and arrest smugglers. and distributors Fully and strictly and strictly enforce applicable laws

Distribution of e-cigarette products among children and youth It is a phenomenon that is happening in every country. including the United Kingdom which supports all types of electronic cigarettes to be legal products

But eventually the UK Prime Minister received evidence from a number of health organisations, such as Britain’s Royal College of Paediatrics. Ministry of Public Health, etc., about the seriousness of the epidemic among young people.

Therefore, the policy for controlling electronic cigarette products needs to be reviewed. By banning disposable products

while in Thailand Laws have been banning all types of e-cigarette products for the past ten years. and received a commendation from that British Medical JournalThe Thai government made a “serious decision” to implement a policy that bans all e-cigarette products.

But there is an effort by tobacco advocates to draft legislation to legalize all e-cigarette products. For control, this approach goes against the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

The governments of these countries review their policies. and change from controlling to banning electronic cigarette products. To reduce the spread among children and youth

Distribution of e-cigarette products which is an illegal product It is a big problem that needs to be solved. But legal This is not the right way to solve the problem. This can be seen in case studies from the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

How to solve problems that are accurate and sustainable is to strictly enforce the law Largely integrating law enforcement between different agencies.

As seen from the Office of the Consumer Protection Board (OCPB), Prime Minister’s Office. Royal Thai Police and related agencies Sondhi joins forces to arrest the law breakers.

Case studies from Singapore and Hong Kong It is a guide that Thailand can exchange, learn and act on immediately.

When the law banning electronic cigarette products began to be implementedSingapore There is a proliferation of illegal products online. But with the cooperation of the Ministry of Digital Technology,Illegal electronic cigaretteson online media has declined rapidly

In addition, Singapore fines have doubled. When a violator is caught a second time along with an additional prison sentence

forHong Kong When considering a law banning all types of electronic cigarette products Efforts are being made to provide heating products. (heat-not-burn) legal

But the Legislature has a position to protect public health. Especially child and youth health Therefore, a law was passed that banned all types of electronic cigarettes. And fines are too high for those who break the law.

If the Thai Ministry of Digital Affairs begins to take proactive measures together with relevant agencies. To crack down on public relations advertising platforms or sales of electronic cigarette products through digital media hard and badly It will make the enforcement of the law that prohibits electronic cigarette products more effective.

Recently, on April 16, there was news that the British Parliament accepted itDraft law for the smoke-free era This covers both rolled cigarettes and electronic cigarettes. By an overwhelming vote of 383 to 73, it is the strictest law in the world.

Because British children born after 1 January 2013 will not be able to use tobacco and e-cigarettes. Because it is against the law to sell to British children and young people. This draft law Inspired by New Zealand law.

Current policies in various countries have implemented stricter laws banning smoking and e-cigarettes, butSpecial committee to discuss and study laws and measures to control and regulate e-cigarettes in Thailand I am going to travel to see the production of electronic cigarettes in China.

and subcommittee There is an effort to push for a bill that would legalize all types of e-cigarettes.

Despite the fact that many countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Australia, New Zealand, etc. are reviewing their erroneous policies. and pass stricter laws. This is the paradox of policy makers in Thailand. This is unlike many countries that have been heavily affected by the e-cigarette epidemic among children and youth.

The British Prime Minister listened. and emphasizes empirical evidence from the Royal College of Paediatricians and Public Health and Public Health England.

Prime Minister Settha also listened to various investigative evidence. From Thailand’s health network The special committee Listening to opinions from all sectors is the right balance.

But the reliability of scientific evidence And case studies from different countries have more weight. “conversation” fromMultinational tobacco companiesand satellite network

Society needs help monitoring policy intervention. from multinational tobacco companies and their satellite networks In the separate committee
