Cooperation by health services can help people to give up smoking: NZ expert

There were 13 million smokers in Thailand, half of whom are expected to die prematurely from smoking-related diseases.

Governments of the world will never stop smoking, they are making too much money from it.

 

Thailand is presently doing large "disinformation" campaign through the medias to warn about the vaping health hazards... When vaping in public places, I am getting more and more friendly warnings from locals that I am poisoning myself, whereas most often, the people talking to me are quietly smoking their analog cigarettes!!! Becoming tired to explain in return that all this propaganda is bullshit and that nothing can be worst than the cigarettes they are smoking...

 

In addition, a thing which does not help: on the country side, everything seen on the small TV screen is like "the Word of God"...

 

Lol, so true I was rereprimanded because a friend sent a load of loom bands to my daughter,
apparently they're dangerous. :/

 

They claim to have reduced smoking by 30 percent in the past 10 years and have a goal to be smoke free in the next 10 years...2025. I'm not very good at math, but that sounds like they are going after the remaining 70 percent in the same amount of time...even when the lower that number gets the harder it will be to get the remaining off cigs. Perhaps they are thinking that they can stop any new smokers and just wait for the rest to die off.

 

Totally, when i meet some thai friends i havent seen for a while and they see me vaping they keep telling me how ultimatly dangerous that is,
