Cig shld also be laced those drugs so that smokers by and large can be incarcerated and pay their dues for inconvenience others.Thereafter both can be permanently banned once and for all.

Like not giving a smart phone definitely helps haha .

This one very hard, cos their friends in school have and thus will still be exposed to stupid and silly stuff you want to protect them from.

Education is still the most important line of defense, besides it's not like you can keep phones away from them forever, there will come a time they will have their own, be it steal cheat or lie.

Might as well prepped for the inevitable and ensure they are responsible users instead.

gather all these people up and lock them in a gated neighbourhood lah.

I read the article. From the account, my guess is that the vape that Mary's husband used might not be laced with etomidate, but with the more expensive meth instead. Coz methamphetamine and etomidate both manifest somewhat opposite behavioral traits. After all, meth is a stimulant, not an anaesthesia like etomidate.

sounds like a true expert. u vape bro?

Just like how the cancer pics plastered on ciggy packs did not deter new smokers... Or death sentence for drug smugglers.

The "incentives" always, somehow, outweigh the risks.

Moi fwend asking

Kpods are a new and dangerous class of drug-laced vape pods that have rapidly gained popularity, especially among youths in Singapore. While they look similar to regular e-cigarettes, Kpods are infused with potent sedatives such as etomidate or sometimes ketamine, both of which are medical anaesthetics and strictly controlled substances. Unlike typical nicotine vapes, Kpods can cause immediate and severe psychoactive effects, including dissociation, loss of motor control, seizures, and even coma or cardiac arrest.

Key points about Kpods:
Contents: Most Kpods seized and tested in Singapore have contained etomidate, but some have also been found to include ketamine, synthetic cannabinoids, methamphetamine, cocaine, or heroin—making their exact composition unpredictable and highly dangerous.

Effects: Users report feeling intensely high, dissociated, lightheaded, and sometimes experience convulsions or become semi-conscious after just a few puffs. Videos circulating online show teens staggering and shaking—symptoms that have led to descriptions like "zombie vapes" or "space oil".

Risks: The rapid onset of a powerful high from Kpods can easily lead to addiction, dangerous behavior (such as falls or self-harm), long-term health effects, and even death. Several cases among Singaporean teens have already resulted in hospitalizations and fatalities.

Availability & Appeal: Kpods are often sold in fruity flavors and marketed as “safe” or “undetectable by urine tests,” a claim that fuels misconceptions about their safety and legality. They are typically sold through underground channels, especially Telegram chat groups and are sometimes imported illegally from neighboring countries.

Law and Enforcement: Both vaping and possession of Kpods are illegal in Singapore. With the emergence of these drug-laced vapes, authorities have intensified enforcement efforts, as being caught with a Kpod carries both criminal penalties for narcotics and the existing bans on vaping.
