Regulatory Framework
For these Main Policies, has the government taken specific action to regulate heated tobacco products?
The Committee on Safety of Products and Services issued an order on HTPs. Therefore, HTPs are subject to Decree No. 24/2024 on Ban on Manufacturing for Sale, Sale and Services of Baraku, E-Baraku, E- Cigarettes, Chemical Compounds for Baraku, E-Liquids for E-Baraku and E-Cigarettes, which provides definitions for key terms and bans the manufacture and sale of e-cigarettes and e-cigarette liquids, which are considered by regulators to encompass HTPs.
Further, the Ministry of Commerce also issued a notification on HTPs. Therefore, HTPs are also subject to the Notification of the Ministry of Commerce on Prohibition of Importing Hookah, Electronic Hookah, or Electronic Cigarettes into Thailand, which bans the import of e-cigarettes and e-cigarette liquids, which are considered by regulators to encompass HTPs.
