In the margins of Global forum on Nicotine which took place in Warsaw a few days ago, the results of an edifying ranking have been made public. This classification listed the countries according to the interest given to the electronic cigarette as a means of risk reduction.
THE UNITED KINGDOM AT THE TOP, THAILAND IN QUEUE OF PLATOON!
In this survey, out of 36 national organizations representing electronic cigarette users, 33 named Thailand as the worst country in this area. Australia, with 18 nominations, was considered the second worst-case country while India was third (16 countries).
« Thailand has a draconian approach with tourists as well as locals regularly stopped for vaping. Police often search vehicles at roadblocks, and impose fines if they find cigarettes. It is not only terrible for Thai smokers who want to quit, but it also makes it a country to be avoided for tens of millions of tourists and businessmen around the world. " , said Asa Ace Saligupta who leads the consumer group End Cigarette Smoke Thailand.
Among the countries considered to be the best in the world, the United Kingdom comes first with 32 votes, while Germany has 25 and France 23. The government of the United Kingdom is thus considered by the authors of the ranking as the the most outstanding case in vaping. Four years ago he was trying to ban all electronic cigarettes from the market.
« Today the UK has three million vapers, accelerating the decline in smoking among Britons “Said the professor Gerry Stimson, from the British charity New Nicotine Alliance. The survey was conducted at the annual Global Forum on Nicotine in Warsaw, which this year attracted 500 delegates from 60 countries.
The organizations interviewed are members of the International Network of Nicotine Consumer Organizations. Each member was allowed to nominate up to five countries in the worst category and five of the best from a list of the 100 most populous nations in the world.
