[arcturuz]

lion dance just says it all

 

[eyz]

sellers will now operate from 9pm to 9am

 

[wlalala]

the issue is the these kpods are DRUGs.

HSA simply doesn't have the expertise or skillset necessary to deal with DRUGs.

Enforcement should have been given to CNB right from the start.

While this kind maybe effective, this kind of incentive foster a division among nation and community, highlynlikely cause more problem after solving one

Why would one want to foster unity with criminals and law breakers.

SINGAPORE - The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) will be enhancing its vaping reporting channels from July 21, said the agency on July 20.

The hotline service to report vaping-related offences will be expanded to operate seven days a week with extended hours from 9am to 9pm. HSA will also be launching a new online reporting platform for the public to report illegal e-vaporiser activities.

HSA said it has observed a significant increase in public feedback on vaping-related offences since 2024, receiving more than 3,000 reports in 2024 and more than 2,500 reports in the first half of 2025.

In addition, a considerable increase in the number of social media postings showing others vaping in the public has also been observed by the agency. These public feedback and social media postings helped HSA as an additional source of surveillance data to intensify enforcement activities, said HSA.

Those who have information on the illegal advertisement, import, distribution, sale or possession of e-vaporisers can contact HSA to support enforcement efforts through the two new channels:

- The new online reporting form: www.go.gov.sg/reportvape

- The Tobacco Regulation Branch at 6684 2036 or 6684 2037, which will be operational daily, including weekends and public holidays, from 9am to 9pm.

More to come.

HSA said it has observed a significant increase in public feedback on vaping-related offences since 2024, receiving more than 3,000 reports in 2024 and more than 2,500 reports in the first half of 2025.

So many feedback yet no concrete firm measures..someone sleeping...
