SINGAPORE – A teenager who advertised vapes for sale has been sentenced to probation for 1½ years.
Albee Chai Buo Yin, now 20, had pleaded guilty to one charge of possessing an imitation tobacco product and another charge of advertising the sale of vapes on messaging platform WhatsApp.
Her sentence on Nov 25 means she has to remain indoors between 10pm and 6am while on probation, and perform 50 hours of community service.
In October 2024, she advertised an assortment of e-vaporisers for sale on WhatsApp.
Two months later, officers from the Health Sciences Authority raided her residence in Jurong West and found six disposable vapes and one vape device fitted with a vape pod.
