The prime minister has stated that she is pleased with the results of an e-cigarette assault, but that she believes that authorities must crack down on virtual channels.
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra vowed to tackle” the person’s biggest pain” by posting a message on the app X yesterday.
The prime minister stated that the data for the two days since I began the assault show progress.
” There are 1, 078 scenarios involving 1, 104 accused being processed and 900, 444 confiscated goods worth 118, 953, 915 baht”, she said.
Following a meeting on the progress of raids and seizures that Ms. Paetongtarn chaired on the subject, Prime Minister Jiraporn Sindhuprai and the Royal Thai Police (RTP ) also attended.
The primary minister stated on X that serious problems included the trafficking of cigarettes across borders and easy access to vaporizers on social media.
What I discussed at the meeting was e-cigarettes that had been modified to have narcotics. Some people use cigarettes as a means of drug use, and this could lead to a youth drug habit, she said.
After the conference, Ms. Jiraporn claimed that the crackdown data for the past two weeks were comparable to those for the entire year 2024.
No criminals, whether large or small, will been spared, she declared. ” Large-scale providers will be subject to legal action, while smaller dealers will be traced back to major vendors,” the statement read.
According to Ms. Jiraporn, the Customs Department, the Ministry of Interior, the Office of the Consumer Protection Board, and the RTP collaborated on the onslaught. The Anti-Money Laundering Office was in charge of looking into items that had been sequestered for$ 500 or more, with lesser-value items being dealt with by the police.
Over 9, 000 online income programs have been shut down.
