Are iqos or glo cigarettes legal in Thailand?

Question by Céline :

Hello Is it possible to smoke iqos or glo cigarettes in Thailand?

Thank you for your reply.

Response:

Hello Céline,

Iqos are among the prohibited products like electronic cigarettes.

This is a translation of an article from iqosmag.com

"Thailand bans imports of IQOS and all electronic cigarettes, you can even go to jail

As for IQOS and all other electronic cigarettes, since November 2014 the law prohibits importing and exporting across borders."

For a holiday in Thailand, IQOS or HEETS should not be added to luggage.

According to the 2014 law, its import, export and sale are prohibited under penalty of a fine of BTH 20,000 or ten years in prison.

The restrictions are primarily aimed at smokers of marijuana and other drugs that can be introduced into electronic cigarettes but inadvertently apply to the IQOS.
