Saligupta, who quit 37 years of smoking with the help of e-cigarettes, said the ban on vapes kept smoking prevalence in Thailand high at 13 million smokers because they were not given other alternatives.He said ECST has hundreds of thousands of members actively campaigning to lift Thailand’s ban on the use of e-cigarettes. “But what about the people who are anti-vaping? Would they outnumber the people who are more open to vaping? I don’t think so,” he said.He said Dr. Prakit Vathesatogit of Action on Smoking and Health Foundation Thailand (ASH Thailand), who used to work for the World Health Organization (WHO), instigated a discussion in the Parliament on lifting the vaping ban and instead regulating electronic cigarettes.#vaping #ecigarettes #smokefreelife #tobaccoharmreduction ...
