SINGAPORE – A man’s vaping offences came to light after a video of him vaping in an MRT train went viral online.
Tay Choon Loong Aloysius, 37, was fined $2,200 on Feb 24 after he was convicted of one count of possession of an imitation tobacco product, and another count of buying an imitation tobacco product.
The court heard that officers from the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) searched Tay’s home on April 22, 2025, after they were informed about a TikTok video of Tay vaping in an MRT train.
Although the officers did not find any prohibited items, he admitted that he was the person in the video, and said he had disposed of the vape after using it.
