SUPPORT MEASURES AGAINST VAPING
In the second quarter of 2026, 245 students were referred to HSA by schools and institutes of higher learning (IHLs) for vaping.
More than 480 youths also received smoking and vaping cessation counselling.
Amid continued public awareness and enforcement efforts relating to vaping, the authorities said that Ministry of Education schools and IHLs will “continue to adopt a comprehensive approach that combines preventative education, firm disciplinary measures, and cessation support”.
Students are taught about the harms of vaping, as well as the consequences, through curriculum subjects, outreach talks, peer-led initiatives and HPB publicity materials.
In addition, public transport operators and frontline staff are also carrying out patrols and checks, with 49 people having been referred to HSA for vaping-related offences on public transport in the same time period.
