absolutely inexcusable it is still used. Every one of the products it is used for has a substitute - which has been in play around the world for decades. Thai people are not important enough to the government to ban these products. Same way that Thai local food contains more contaminants and bugs when compared to food used for export.
But what makes this government? Everybody knows that the asbestos is a highly carcinogenic product! There have been already tens of thousands deaths in the world because of it! Asbestos fibers included in materials escape from it when one they are broken and are going to get in lungs, without going back, irritate cells who become cancerous!

It's like asking if smoking is bad. When inhaled, asbestos is a lot worse than smoking so it should definitely be banned!
