HSA launches anti-vaping checks near 5 institutes of higher learning​

SINGAPORE - The anti-vaping blitz has extended to areas near schools, with enforcement officers conducting checks outside five institutes of higher learning (IHL) across Singapore on July 14.

In total, 27 people were caught and fined for vaping in enforcement operations conducted at several community hot spots, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) told The Straits Times.


“Another eight persons were caught for underage smoking. Those caught were aged 17 to 66 years,” said HSA, which added that 31 e-vaporisers were seized in the four-hour-long operation.

IHLs comprise autonomous universities, art institutions, polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education.

The Ministry of Health and HSA said in a joint statement on May 16 that from January 2024 to March 2025
about 2,600 students were referred to HSA by schools and IHLs for vaping.

Previous figures released showed that there were about 800 cases in 2022, 900 cases the next year and 2,000 cases in 2024

Wong gave it a try on Sept 10, 2024, and brought the illicit items into Singapore without being detected.

Two days later, on Sept 12, Wong made his second attempt. He drove to Johor Bahru at about 8am, parked his car at Mydin Mall and left to have breakfast

Is this a joke? due to the seriousness of vaping in Singapore, should be minimum 2 years + 20 strokes.

2 days 24 strokes. Hospital bill from caning pay by yourself. Die from caning is your own problem.

How come drug offenses so light sentences

2 weeks is like a Japan holiday only lo

 

[li9ht5peed]

why shift blame to students? they need to revise laws and trace vapes and drugs to the customs officer who failed to perform checks. you either allow vapes and drugs or accept constant jams when crossing the border
