Over 341 e-vaporisers and related components were detected and seized by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) between Jan 5 and 8, as the agency continues with stepped-up checks.
In the said period, ICA officers detected 57 cases of travellers having vapes on them, including those who had voluntarily disposed them at red bins placed at land, air and sea checkpoints.
Out of the 341 e-vaporisers and related components seized, approximately 67 per cent of these cases involved short-term visitors, while the remaining 33 per cent were Singapore residents.
In a Facebook post on Saturday (Jan 10), ICA emphasised that vaping is illegal in Singapore.
