Thailand has raised the legal smoking age from 18 to 20, and has also made strict regulations on places where tobacco is sold. All places where cigarettes are sold must strictly check the identity cards of cigarette buyers, and only those who meet the age requirements can buy cigarettes. If enterprises violate the regulations, they will face fines and even be disqualified from tobacco sales.
All indoor public places and some outdoor public places in Thailand have also enacted smoking bans. In addition, some beaches and airports have also implemented a total ban on smoking.
Thailand imposes relatively heavy penalties on smokers. Thailand will face a fine of 654.38+10,000 baht (about RMB20,000) or imprisonment of 1 year or both.
In the context of smoking ban in Thailand, it will definitely have a great impact on the tobacco experience in Thailand. The cost of smoking a cigarette is so high that no one wants to bear the cost of smoking. Slowly, fewer and fewer people smoke, and the sales of tobacco have also decreased.
In the long run, banning smoking is a good thing, and the smoking ban system should be vigorously promoted. Many people know that smoking is harmful to health, but not everyone can quit smoking. Propaganda smoking is harmful and harmless, so we can only rely on legal compulsory measures to ban smoking.
Less people smoke, less cigarettes are sold, which may have a temporary impact on the national tobacco business and reduce the national tax revenue. However, banning smoking can protect people's health and reduce environmental pollution, which is certainly much larger than the national income brought by taxes, right?
