Smoking in your own home in Thailand may
now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people
in the house.
在泰國，如果你在家裡吸菸，而且被認為對其他人有害，今後可能被視為犯罪。

which might be hazardous for others’ health residing under the same roof. In
that case, it will be considered as ’domestic violence’. The new law came into
force on August 20.
