E-cigarettes

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

E-cigarettes

Post by Anchor Moy »

Article in the PPP about the scary replacement for the "wicked weed". Is the e-cigarette being mistaken for a sort of mini-shisha ? (Must say that at first read I thought the "wicked weed" referred to was another plant entirely. Lol.)
Announcing the new law in 2014, Deputy Prime Minister Ke Kim Yan explained that “the general public sees that shisha and e-cigarettes are drugs, which get youths hooked and make them neglect their studies and work, and may lead to serious problems for the nation”.
The frequent conflation of the two very different products has prompted the suggestion that e-cigarettes were only ever banned because of the vapour’s visual resemblance to shisha.

Nothing like outlawing things to make them popular. Meanwhile, tobacco and the other leaf alternative are cheap are easy to access.
