WHO warns Thailand it must do more to enforce ban on e-cigarettes


BANGKOK: Thailand should strengthen its law enforcement and monitoring system for vaping or electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) to avoid a severe mass tragic addiction in the future, the World Health Organization (WHO) representative to Thailand Dr Jos Vandelaer warned on Monday (Dec 18).

His remarks came just days after WHO issued an official statement urging governments around the world to take steps to prevent the use of e-cigarettes, claiming that the product is more harmful than it claims to be.
