Thailand imposes hefty fines on e-cigarette importers to curb sales

**harrybarracuda** · 05-05-2024, 03:23 PM

The Customs Department of Thailand imposed a hefty fine on e-cigarette importers, now demanding double the item’s value plus tax in an attempt to curb the increasing sales among the public, particularly the youth.
Panthong Loykulnan, the spokesperson for the department, announced yesterday that importers of e-cigarettes, barakus, shishas, and e-barakus will be mandated to pay a fine equivalent to twice the cost of the product, customs tax, and VAT. All confiscated items will be treated similarly to other goods with import restrictions, such as liquor, cigarettes, garlic, onions, shallots, and goods that infringe copyright laws.
According to Panthong, this stringent measure is a response to the swift proliferation of e-cigarettes among teenagers and students.

Does that mean you're not going to be a curmudgeonly tosspot all day for a change?

Nah, joking.

I think Thailand needs to concentrate on cutting down on yabba before worrying about e-cigarettes.

I think Thailand needs to concentrate on traffic fatalities before worrying about e-cigarettes.

Only the Thai, eh. The entire fucking population can blow its brains out on ganja pretty much on a whim yet a few puffs on an e- cigarette is now critical?

Stupidest folk on the planet.
