Time to get Thais hooked on medicinal marijuana habit? 

Happily the percentage of the Thai population smoking has fallen from about 40 per cent to just under 30 per cent, according to the “Thailand and the 2030 sustainable development goals” book. Hopefully the public campaigns and new restrictions will continue to cut the numbers. 
The time has come to legalise the ganja and ganjong medicinal herbs as an alternative to tobacco. These herbs heal, rather than harm, according to numerous scientific studies.

So the government has banned sales of single cigarettes and packs of 10. So people have to buy packs of 20 if shopping at mom-and-pop stores – meaning people buy more and smoke more. Another well-thought-out plan.
