HSA said that between Jan 1 to Nov 30, it identified and fined 38 people for posting photographs or videos of vapes on social media.
This comes amid intensified surveillance and enforcement action against the advertisements of e-vaporisers on digital platforms.
“The promotion of e-vaporisers on social media platforms may normalise the use of these banned products and influence the public, especially youths, to experiment with vaping,” said Mr Norman Chong, director of HSA’s Tobacco Regulation Branch.
