Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin New reports are emerging from the sets of Netflix’s reality TV Squid Game show that paint a dire picture. Contestants report that the filming conditions for the show, based on the hit Korean Netflix drama, are often harsh and cold. “This is not a Bear Grylls survival show,” a contestant named John told Variety about one grueling filming session that ended up being exceptionally chilly. “If they had told us it was going to be that cold, no one would have gone through with it.” 456 contestants are competing for a $4.56 million prize, with each game “killing” off a bunch of hopefuls.

Thailand’s Digital Economy and Society Minister says it’s about time that e-cigarettes be legalised. The Minister, Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn, thinks Thailand should amend the law to reflect the lives of many people in developed countries. According to Thai PBS World, Chaiwut added that Thailand’s neighbouring countries of Singapore and Malaysia have already legalised electronic smoking devices. “The key issue is to legalise (e-cigarettes), if we believe that this is the way of life and a freedom and it is accepted by the majority, then we should do it,” said the DES minister, adding that making e-cigarettes legal will also help generate tax revenue for the state.” He also says that e-cigarettes are currently smuggled into the country and offered for sale online with impunity due to the law remaining unchanged.
