Why is smoking ban so serious in Thailand?

The reasons for the serious smoking ban in Thailand are as follows:

1. Smoking is prohibited in hotels, restaurants, cafes, bus stops and other public places, which is equivalent to creating an environment where everyone does not smoke, and curbing people's smoking habits from the ideological and moral aspects.

2. The packaging of tobacco products stipulates that pictures and warning slogans must be printed to remind smokers of the dangers of smoking.

The government imposes high taxes on tobacco and tobacco products, which makes the price of tobacco products rise and urges people to reduce their use.

Smoking is one of the factors leading to many chronic diseases and deaths. About 70,000 people die from smoking-related diseases every year. The government needs to reduce the smoking rate through tobacco control policy to reduce the medical burden of the country and improve the health level of the public.

Generally speaking, the strict ban on smoking in Thailand is mainly to protect public health and reduce the harm of smoking to people's health and the social burden of smoking-related diseases.
