Thailand’s vaping industry may be legalized soon? A DKECE partner company has already moved early

According to foreign media reports, the Thai Tobacco Association is still exploring ways to legalize the sale of e-vapor products, with the possibility of achieving legalization this year.

The association believes that legalizing e-vapor will help the government strengthen regulation and provide better protection for consumers by strictly regulating the age of purchasers to better prevent young people from using e-vapor products. Relatively speaking, for those trying to quit smoking, e-vapor will be a safer choice. Sixty-seven countries and regions, including the UK, New Zealand, and Malaysia, have recognized the legality of e-vapor, as its harm is less than that of traditional cigarettes and contains fewer harmful substances. Even though Thailand has made significant efforts in promoting smoking cessation, there are still about 11 million smokers in Thailand.

Additionally, from an economic perspective, smokers' preference for imported cigarettes has led to tobacco smuggling under legal prohibitions, resulting in a collective decline in income for tobacco manufacturers and smokers. If the tobacco grown in Thailand can be turned into e-vapor products, it would not only solve income issues but also allow for exports to other countries, benefiting both the Thai Tobacco Management Board and tobacco growers.

Furthermore, analysts point out that the legalization of e-vapor products would be good news for tourists in Thailand. Legalizing e-vapor in Thailand could help tourists avoid detention for possessing e-vapor products.

Since 2014, Thailand has explicitly banned the possession, sale, and import of e-vapor products. However, these strict penalties have fostered extortion by law enforcement officials. For instance, this year, six officials in Bangkok were reported to have extorted 27,000 Thai Baht (approximately $800) from a tourist during an enforcement operation!

With the Thai e-vapor market on the verge of compliance, how will domestic e-vapor companies compete?
