E – cigarettes are considered to be” gateway drugs.”

According to the Research Centre for Social and Business Development ( SAB ), the majority of student parents concur that the new government should keep the current ban on the import and sale of e-cigarettes because of the potential health risk.

The results were made public at a lecture on Wednesday that the SAB organized and where the survey’s findings on teachers and parents regarding the smoke ban were presented.

According to Suriyan Boontae, the SAB’s deputy director, 91 % of the 5,582 respondents nationwide supported keeping the ban in place because it would reduce the amount of tobacco coverage among young people.

4, 087 parents of students in middle key to large institutions participated in the study. Educators and school officials made up the various respondents.

80 % of responders were aware of the negative effects of e-cigarette use on their health. The exact proportion thought that e-cigarettes might be a doorway to illegal substances.

Asst Prof. Dr. Vijj Kasemsap, director of the Tobacco Control Research and Knowledge Management Centre( TRC ), provided the government with recommendations on how to protect children from e-cigarettes in a message to the new administration outlining these findings.

To keep the ban on importing and selling e-cigarettes in place, the ministers of public health, business, and banking, along with their respective government executives, as well as the consumer protection commission, he said, must cooperate.

E-cigarettes are frequently sold in stores, tourist-heavy places, and online programs, so the Royal Thai Police and local operational agencies may enforce the ban.

He continued by saying that knowledge campaigns should be run by state organizations that involve parents, educators, and the internet to inform people about the risk of marketing campaigns luring children to start using e-cigarettes.

He asserted that the marketing tactics used by e-cigarette manufacturers to entice young consumers and the risks that smoking electronic cigarettes poses should be incorporated into the program of the Education Ministry and state agencies.

According to Dr. Vijj, young people need to be taught a cultural significance in order to avoid e-cigarettes.

Encourage families to stop using e-cigarettes would develop” mental immunity” in their children, according to Niwat Nakawet, president of the Congress of Parents and Teachers in Thailand( CPTT ).

The Ministry of Education supports the ban on e-cigarettes in academic settings, according to Chana Summat, chairman of the ministry’s health center.

The Royal College of Paediatricians of Thailand’s leader, Somsak Lolekha, stated that it also supports the ban.

The National Council for Peace and Order( NCPO ), the now-defunct coup-makers, issued orders and announcements, which the government will seek advice from the Council of State, its legal advisory body.

According to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, some NCPO orders are still in effect even though they are no longer relevant to the current situation, and some of them are thought to hinder the conduct of government business and people’s daily lives. The authorities will discuss the council on the matter.

The PM instructed ministries and state companies to consider whether it is also important for them to keep any NCPO orders they were given in the past, according to government official Chai Wacharonke on Wednesday.

These purchases may be revoked if they don’t ask the pantry to keep them by October 9, according to Mr. Chai.

When asked how the government may withdraw the NCPO directions, Mr. Chai replied,” The current state is a sovereign entity, so it can immediately reevoke all NCTO orders.”

When asked if a government decision could overturn orders issued in accordance with Section 44 of the interim constitution adopted following the 2014 coup, Mr. Chai replied that any NCPO orders can be revoked as long as no one requests that they remain in effect by October 9.

The part gave former prime minister Prayut Chan o cha, who is currently the head of the NCPO, broad authority to repeal all other rules. The present constitution was amended to include Section 44. The charter’s Area 279 also supports NCPO directives and presentations.

Additionally, it states that like orders may be changed or repealed by either parliamentary legislation, executive orders, or government resolutions.

However, Pheu Thai record MP Noppadon Pattama stated on Facebook that” the state is not a sovereign object.” Thus, one must take into account the significance of any NCPO purchases before they can be revoked.

The cabinet may issue a fresh resolution to reverse an NCPO order if it is equivalent to one. However, if the attempt is equivalent to a law, it must be passed by parliament in order to be changed or repealed,” he wrote.

Older policies are being revived to support par

A program implemented by a previous Pheu Thai authorities ten years ago to give students and teachers across the country access to product computers to encourage similar option in education is about to be scrapped by the Education Ministry.

The program was one of many that Education Minister Permpoon Chidchob and his lieutenant Surasak Phancharoenworakul, both members of the Bhumjaithai Party in the Pheu Thai-led partnership, announced monday.

The officials stated that their mission was to” promote great learning, with happiness” at a gathering of government representatives.

According to Pol Gen Permpoon, the” one pupil, one tablet” software will give every student a tablet computer in order to reduce costs and discrepancies in educational opportunities.

Previous Democrat Party MP Suchatvee Suwansawat, however, told the Bangkok Post that while he agrees with using contemporary technologies to support the learning process and lessen educational injustice, the program also raises some questions for him.

According to Mr. Suchatvee, a previous dean of the King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, the Education Ministry does not give the tablets to schoolchildren who are very young because it is more crucial that they first learn to socialize and socialize.

He added that the government should purchase tablets with software that is flexible to future technology in order to lessen the burden on taxpayers, saying that” the tablet laptops will pull them away from their friends.”

Kids who are glued to devices or computer monitors are said to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and exhibit violent thoughts, according to a study. In situations like this, schools should consult therapists, according to Mr. Suchatvee.

He stated that unless suitable measures are in place to address these kinds of issues, the state shouldn’t rush to distribute tablets to kids.

Technology will help teachers learn more effectively, according to criticism Move Forward Party deputy leader Sirikanya Tansakun, but teachers may also develop the necessary abilities to use them.

Do educators possess the knowledge to utilize pills? Have they received any arrangements? If the emphasis is on the products rather than the caliber of the content, issues may develop, she said.

She added that in order to ensure the products meet quality standards, the purchase of tablet computers must be done properly and honestly.

According to Ms. Sirikanya,” A mistake will not only influence children’s learning approach, but we will also end up with technological waste.” To encourage justice in education, she argued that the funds may be distributed to colleges across the country equally and evenly.

The state of former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra implemented the” one scholar, one product” program for the first time in 2011. With a budget of more than 2 billion baht, tablets were first distributed to 860, 000 Prathom 1 ( Grade 1 ) students in the middle of 2012.

There was a lot of doubt at the time regarding the program’s affordability and viability.

After the program’s first year, the National Statistical Office ( NSO ) conducted a survey that found some issues, such as malfunctioning devices, antisocial behavior, and declining handwriting abilities. However, according to the NSO study, instructors found the tablets to be particularly effective at enhancing their language abilities in both English and Thai.
