Abstract:

This research presents a cross-sectional survey for monitoring and analysis of illegal sales of cigarettes or tobacco products on the internet in Thailand from June 2010 to June 2014. The websites are collected monthly and classified into four categories: blog, webboard, social network and online shopping. First the data was gathered by using manpower and later by an algorithm program. Each data category is separately analyzed and carried out to gather information from the details of tobacco products and websites such as product types, brands, prices, promotions, and payment methods. The databases are later submitted to three regulators, Thai Hotline, Royal Thai Police, and ICT, to close the websites and arrest distributors.
