Public Health Win in Thailand

CAPHRA supports Thailand's shift towards more inclusive e-cigarette regulations for harm reduction, highlighting the importance of considering all stakeholders' perspectives. The committee aims to present alternative solutions by December, moving beyond prohibition to regulate e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products. The organisation advocates for evidence-based policies that do not criminalize e-cigarette users, while addressing youth use concerns and recognizing benefits for adult smokers. They believe Thailand's approach could be a positive model for the region, promoting public health and individual choice. CAPHRA encourages further research, dialogue, and collaboration with stakeholders to improve harm reduction outcomes.
