He made the remarks during a discussion on tobacco control with members of the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) board of directors on Monday.

Anutin, who is chairman of ThaiHealth's board, said he noticed the popularity of e-cigarettes among teens, some of whom aim to legalize sales.

To help tighten controls on e-cigarettes, Anutin said he has assigned the Tobacco Control Panel under the Department of Disease Control (DDC) to review existing regulations to determine whether they should be revised or new rules issued.

However, he said current laws could still curb the rise of e-cigarettes.

He said: "The DDC has also been instructed to coordinate with police to come up with solutions to prevent vaping from becoming more popular in the future.

Dr Surachet Satitniramai, the second vice-chairman of ThaiHealth, said that at present, many commercial operators are trying to legalize the import of e-cigarettes in the country, which is a topic of concern to the committee members.

"E-cigarettes will have a broad impact on tobacco farmers in the country," he said. "As the material of e-cigarettes is not tobacco but chemicals, farmers will suffer a loss of income."
