Another Thai Crackdown

The Thai government has followed its crackdown on ecigs by announcing yet another crackdown on vapes. Part of this new crackdown has been the launch of an app where people can dob in anybody they see vaping. Meanwhile, another government department has recommended legalising the sale of e-cigarettes due to the fact that the endless crackdowns have failed to achieve anything. No wonder the public is confused.

NASUWT Claims Evidence of Vaping Crisis

The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers – The Teachers’ Union (NASUWT) says that new data from a survey it’s conducted suggests that vaping continues to be a problem in schools. The Union says 54.4% of teachers reported that pupil vaping is a factor in issues of school safety and behaviour. The data was released just before the third reading of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill in order to influence politicians.

Approximately 2.8% to 3.2% of US adults are current e-cigarette users, with a majority being current cigarette smokers or former cigarette smokers.1 The most common use for e-cigarettes is to quit smoking, but e-cigarette use may continue even after discontinuation of combustible cigarettes.2 Furthermore, those who initiate e-cigarettes to quit smoking may not be successful, leading to dual use of both tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes, which increases potential health harms.
