Rasamee Chotpantawitthakul is a child and adolescent psychiatrist who has expressed concern over the rise of electronic cigarette use among youth in Thailand, particularly in the southern region where the prevalence is highest. She has pointed out that despite cultural and religious prohibitions against smoking, vaping is becoming increasingly popular among students, who perceive it as trendy. Rasamee advocates for stricter legal enforcement and educational initiatives to inform young people about the severe health risks associated with vaping, including potential long-term damage to their cognitive functions and respiratory health.
