E-cigarettes -- also known as e-cigs, vapes, or electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) -- have been banned in Thailand since 2014. Yet there are attempts to remove that ban by some members of the House of Representatives.
They claim e-cigarettes are less harmful than regular cigarettes and the government is losing tax revenue if e-cigarettes remain on the black market. Supporters reason that making e-cigarettes legal is perhaps the best solution to get rid of illegal products from the black market.
