I just dont understand why Vaping is illegal in Thailand, I mean Prostitution is also illegal but there's rumours it still goes on, kinda twisted logic!

[Jannot]

Hardly real news,, more of a humerous event,, vaping is illegal,, bottom line... This person is just looking for publicity. Move on...

LOL how nice. In the US they would break the car window, guns drawn, and drag her out of the car.

She (he) is transgender (personal  pronoun ‘they’) so can they choose whether they go to a male or female prison? Wherever they go they’ll  probably enjoy it!

"A urine test was reported to have found illegal drugs in her system."

did the cops check to see if they still had their wallets?

It wouldn't get out of it's car. That's the way it should read and I've seen e-cigarettes and the fluid in the markets 

[DiJoDavO]

Sorry, but what kind of sad life does someone have to anonymously report someone about an e-cigarette to the police? 

I guess those are the same who report to the police about someone clearing their throat during the pandemic.

The police will usually get their way!

They didn’t plant drugs in the subjects car but they instead fudged the subjects drug test imop

Possibly because he/she had the brass neck to stand up to the RTP.

I was thinking of “It “ but instead I used subject! Less intrusive! If I was speaking to friends ,”it “ would be my choice .

Likely has a bit to do with profitable cigarette manufacturers.

I gotta be honest, I love the creativity of the RTP of moving the vehicle to a police station.

However 40 minutes of chatting with mom. C'mon.

In many countries 'more developed' the window would've been gone and the person would've been forced out of the car.

Breaking glass in the states by the police ! It’s a safety issue !The subject can’t be transported in a towed vehicle!

The subject is endangering their life and possible others!

here goes the general rule.... if a police man isn't there for a problem with you, you'll most likely not have a problem. no guarantees.

While one must appreciate how the Thai government protects it's citizens from many evils like pornography and e-cigaretts, I wish they would protect their citizens from COVID by aggressive and effective nationwide vaccinations! Priorities I guess...

Illegalising 'evils like pornography and e-cigarettes' costs little more than the lawmakers' time, which they're paid for in any event.

Vaccines, on the other hand, cost money, a resource that this government demonstrated was in seriously short supply seven months ago, when PM Prayuth sent out his begging letters to the country's big business leaders who he hoped may have a little to spare . . . sadly and almost inevitably, they didn't.

Because all tobacco products are sold by a government monopoly and generate a large income for the state. 

Vaping products do not have any tax classification in Thailand, so there's no tax revenue.

And even if they gave them a classification, it's easy to make eliquid through commercially available products that they cannot tax (vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol, food grade flavourings) that they wouldn't get any tax revenue from it either.

Money is more important to the Thai state than is the health of their citizens, which shouldn't come as a surprise.

Another show pony. It won't be long before there are cell signal blockers so this sort of behaviour.
