According to Thai.News on August 14th, some child health and child rights experts in Thailand have issued a warning that allowing children to vape e-cigarettes at home or be exposed to e-cigarettes may be considered a violation of child protection laws.
National Children's Protection Commission member Sapphasit Khumpraphan stated,
Smoking e-cigarettes or traditional cigarettes at home can expose children to secondhand smoke. This behavior can be considered a form of domestic violence.
Waraphon Phongphanitanon, an expert from the Department of Women's Affairs and Family Development, has confirmed that according to the 2003 Child Protection Act and the 2007 Domestic Violence Victims Protection Act, smoking e-cigarettes at home is a violation of the law.
Suwanna Ruangkanchanasetr, Deputy Director of the Tobacco Control Research and Knowledge Management Center (TRC), stated that it is important for families to understand the significance of child protection laws, as well as the importance of protecting children from the harm of e-cigarettes.
She urged the government to take stronger measures by enhancing the enforcement of laws prohibiting the import and sale of e-cigarettes in Thailand to protect Thai children from the health risks of e-cigarette use.
