A large quantity of e-cigarettes, estimated to be worth around 30 million baht (approximately 1.2 billion JPY), has been seized in Songkhla province, southern Thailand. MGR Online (South) reported this on August 5, 2026. This seizure highlights the reality of illegal e-cigarette trade within Thailand. In Thailand, the import, sale, and possession of e-cigarettes are prohibited by law from a public health perspective. However, the use of illegal e-cigarettes, particularly among young people, continues unabated, raising concerns about health impacts. Authorities are making every effort to uncover the smuggling route used to bring these seized e-cigarettes into Thailand and how they were intended to be distributed. This bust may lead to enhanced enforcement and a review of e-cigarette regulations in the future. Source: MGR Online (South)
