Thailand set to ban e-cigs - E-Cigarette Forum

Normally, I dismiss blog blatherings, but this is a good one, from an intelligent writer who hopes to make Thailand home and is alarmed that the country might outlaw the e-cigarette he uses to stay off tobacco cigs.

Yeah, I saw the article by checking the links to the video I posted on YouTube regarding real cigs vs e-cigs.

It's a shame that another country caves to the all mighty tax dollar. That's all these bans are for.

It is funny but tropicalbob and bigjimw look like twin brothers

And we fuss like twin brothers sometimes, eh?

But we're united for the same cause and that's what counts.

You're alright in my book Bob.

Sure, sometimes we may not see eye to eye sometimes, but the common goal is there.

Majority of thais could not afford to buy e-cigs even if they were available and those who can just don't give a damn. This article seems to be a flashback from the earlier article.
It certainly is possible to make a good e-cig for 5-10 bucks but that probably takes couple years at this rate.

Im sure they would find away. When I was in Thailand for a little bit, they as Im sure you can guess, get everything for cheaper(for the Thai people). I met up with a friend of a friend who was from Thailand there to show me around and she couldn't stop laughing at how much I was paying for everything while there. Many of them smoke cigarettes but I dont think anyone but tourists bought them from the local 7-11 like me and paid about 3 bucks a pack.
