Vietnam to snuff out vaping in 2025, following Thailand and Singapore

Vietnam will ban vaping in 2020 to prevent addiction, especially among teenagers. The decision, supported by Parliament, rejects claims that e-cigarettes help quit smoking or are less harmful. Following Thailand and Singapore's crackdown on e-cigarettes, Vietnam aims to curb the appeal of various colored and flavored products to potential users.
