How many family and friends would still be alive today worldwide if this law was international? just one death is one to many.

car720 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The world is going to hell in a handbasket even faster than I said it would. So much for all of our heros who gave their lives to protect our freedoms. Lower class, middle class, upper class and then there are politicians.

Drinking a beer at home didn't kill anyone around me comprehension skills much? I would go even further. Each village should have a smoking hut. Like the menstruation huts of 50 years ago. There should also be an extraction fan (if there is electricity), also. Second hand smoke makes me sneeze and upsets my metabolism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennb6 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 a) other than in a closed small room, second hand smoke is harmless. b) if your own home/residence isn't safe from prying govt eyes, nowhere is. Stalin/Hitler, etc couldn't do it better! c) does thai govt realize how they look in press? this new law ranks up there with someone who would sign birthday wishes to their dog (which did make the Drudge Report news recently) d) if I were a smoker and was considering being a tourist in thailand and read about this law, I'd immediately scratch thailand off my list. >> report your whereabouts every 90 days, report leaving a province within 24hrs, bars close at either 12 or 2am, cannot buy alcohol at the stores between 2-5pm and after 12 midnight. What's next big brother? Ankle bracelets? monthly fingerprints? a note from mommy? I thought the adults were in charge here, guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibley69 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Maybe these govt officials are genius business men... The world's 2 biggest tobacco using nations are...China with 300 million users and india with 274 million users. Which 2 nations are they trying to attract to Thailand and for longer periods? That's a lot of potential law breakers! Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman777 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Great News - but will they enforce it.? Doubtful as Thai enforcement of laws has been pretty dismal so far. I will see if I can get the <deleted> who smokes continuously on his balcony and whose smoke somehow blows back into my room can be stopped. I would have no problem though if he just smoked in his room with his widows shut and the door sealed shut !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. The larger figure is for worldwide deaths from second hand smoking and the smaller figure is all deaths from smoking in Thailand. You should have read more carefully. ????

MaxYakov Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I never smoked indoors because I didn't like the smell. Also, always used a glass bottle as an ash tray so I never had to snub one out with my fingers at home or in the car. Awful habit, but not so bad if managed. Then I got cancer in 2016 so I stopped. Everything was distasteful because of the chemo-radiation therapy I was getting at the time. Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with smoking on a balcony. However, if he's not living alone then he's forced to smoke on the balcony with this new law and you are collateral damage, another well thought out thai law. So basically this has the opposite effect on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevemac Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The 72000 are from all smoking related deaths, not just passive smoking. It's in the article Here we go, maths again.
