SINGAPORE – Foreigners who visit or live in Singapore are reminded that vaping is illegal here, said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) after discovering more than 340 e-vaporisers and related components in four days.
The authority said in a Facebook post on Jan 10 that it continues enforcing its anti-vaping efforts through checks at Singapore’s checkpoints.
Between Jan 5 and 8, ICA detected 57 cases of travellers found in possession of e-vaporisers.
Aside from these cases, there were other travellers who voluntarily disposed of their vapes at checkpoints.
More than 340 e-vaporisers and related components were seized.
ICA noted that about 67 per cent of the cases involved short-term visitors, while 33 per cent were Singapore residents – Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders.
