Fears raised over smoking at home
Thai smokers are taking to puffing away in the comfort of their own homes as smoking in public places becomes increasingly restrictive, raising fears of a spike in health problems linked to second-hand smoke.
Prakit Vatheesatogkit, executive director of the Action on Smoking and Health Foundation, said almost half of Thai smokers are now lighting up indoors as bans take effect in most bars, restaurants and workplaces.
