According to a doctor who claims their lungs have been greatly damaged, three younger students from Buri Ram are reportedly in important issue in a hospital after using e-cigarettes and rattan for two years.
However, the government has repeatedly issued a warning to parents to watch out for “pod toys,” which are vaping devices that resemble small toys from Japanese anime characters and are becoming popular among young people.
An emergency officer from the Satuk city of Buri Ram, Paphawarin Simlakorn, posted images of an ambulance moving schoolchildren from a nearby school in a recent Twitter post.
According to the article, three students in grades 5, 6 and 8 were suffering from vomiting, neck tension and breathing problems. They were discovered to have been consuming teak wine and smoking e-cigarettes for up to two years, which contributed to their health problems, such as heart rate rapids and low oxygen levels.
Surasak Koonpak, a assistant working for Don Mon city, told reporters on Friday that the Grade 5 and 6 pupils were sent to Satuk Hospital on Tuesday, while the Grade 8 pupil was admitted on Thursday. One of them eventually moved to Buri Ram Hospital for treatment.
There was also a statement that a Grade 9 learner from the same class, who had similar signs, was sent to Satuk Hospital next month.
Buri Ram Provincial Police have been conducting an investigation into sources of unlawful e-cigarette and teak sales in the area in response to the situations. This resulted in the arrest of two defendants, from whom soldiers seized e-cigarettes, rattan juice containers and a rifle. For the past two decades, their store has been close to the school. Additionally, they offer their goods electronically.
The Don Mon city has been actively promoting anti-drug sporting events as well as educating local residents about the risks of e-cigarettes and teak.
Despite these attempts, it is difficult to handle junior use due to the accessible nature of these elements via online platforms.
Meanwhile, Anukool Pruksanusak, a deputy government spokesman, issued a public safety warning about the availability of” Doraemon e-cigarettes,” which are widely regarded as” Doraemon e-cigarettes” and are affordable.
These e-cigarettes are targeted at young citizens, and some of them cost as little as 99 ringgit, he said.
Additionally, Mr. Anukool made it clear that the government is making more efforts to stop the sale and use of e-cigarettes, mainly among the young.
