Thai Government Approves New Student Behavior Regulations on Banned Substances
Thailand Cabinet approves new student behavior regulations to ban e-cigarettes and other substances posing threats to students.

According to The Standard's report on January 7th, Thai government deputy spokesperson Karom Polpnglang announced that the Thai Cabinet has approved a ministerial regulation proposal on student behavior submitted by the Ministry of Education. The regulation is related to the 2003 Child Protection Act.


Initially, the law primarily prohibited students from cigarette and other drugs. However, with the emergence of e-cigarettes, waterpipes, and other new psychoactive substances, these items have posed a new threat to students. Therefore, the Ministry of Education suggests expanding the ban to include prohibited items such as e-cigarettes, electronic waterpipes, and other items listed under psychoactive substance laws.


The government has established four levels of punishment measures for students involved in prohibited items: warning, disciplinary record, deduction of behavior scores, and participation in behavior correction activities.


Kalam pointed out,


The Minister of Education believes that we cannot confiscate these items, therefore, the relevant authorities must take action. For example, if these items enter the country through illegal channels, the relevant law enforcement agencies must be responsible for investigating and taking action.
