Thai police crackdown on illegal sale of e-cigarettes worth 8 million baht in Bangkok.

The Thai National Police Bureau's Office of Legal Affairs and Cases (OCJ) has recently received reports from the public regarding illegal sales of electronic cigarettes in the Phetchakasem area. In response, the OCJ dispatched police officers to conduct an inspection and discovered an unnumbered house located in Bangkok's Phasi Charoen district on Phetchakasem Road, which was used as an illegal location for the sale of electronic cigarettes to the public and as an online storage and delivery point for these products.

During a search operation, the Office of Consumer Protection and the Judiciary (OCJ) discovered a variety of electronic cigarette products, including e-liquid, e-cigarettes, disposable e-cigarettes, multi-functional e-cigarette devices, coils, and a large quantity of e-cigarette components, with a total value exceeding THB 8 million (approximately RMB 1.64 million).

The Deputy Director of the Evidence Verification Office of the Royal Thai Police, Thanin Rangmataiy, has stated that the location in question was an establishment offering electronic cigarette sales through online media, operating in secret.

Thanin stated that tens of thousands of products with a total value exceeding 8 million Thai baht were seized during the operation. He urged all parents to closely monitor and supervise the types of products their children or teenagers purchase when using internet services and online shopping.
