Thailand set to ban e-cigs

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.

I hear ya - my brother in law is consistently reaming my ass for spending half the price i would on stuff here, there (apparently, they'res better deals to be had for non-farang). As for the ban, it seems there's a lot of things banned that are overlooked for poor, innocent, farang tourists that don't know any better, if you catch my drift... I doubt i'll ever get my PV snatched, even if the ban does come down.

Sort of ironic how they want to ban e-cigs in a country where prostitution is legal. Go figure!!!

Four words, buddy - State Owned Tobacco Monopoly.

Kinda like the crap in the US, but they removed the middleman.

Non-government taxed and non-cured tobacco costs about $0.6 for a pack in Thailand. Cheapest government taxed run around $1.2 for a pack. E-cig starter kit should cost around $4-8 to appeal to these people. $8 would barely be within limits of technology but $4 certainly is not.
