Taiwanese actress Charlene An's police extortion case is raising concerns over the legality of e-cigs and how smokers can still access them despite a ban in the kingdom.
It all started when An posted on social media early this month saying that she had been stopped and searched at a checkpoint while in a taxi with her friends during a night out in Bangkok. She said she was threatened with a criminal charge for having an e-cigarette device and later paid 27,000 baht before leaving the country on Jan 5.
