Singapore Seizes Over S$1.1 Mln In Vape Products In Biggest Bust Since Sept 2025
Summary
The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in Singapore conducted a large operation on February 24, 2026, seizing approximately 67,000 vape products valued at over S$1.1 million. A 29-year-old man was arrested for his suspected involvement in importing and distributing these products from a commercial warehouse in Mandai. This marks the largest seizure of vape products since September 2025. Singapore is set to enforce stricter penalties under the Tobacco and Vaporisers Control Act (TVCA) starting May 1, 2026, with significant fines and imprisonment terms for importers, suppliers, and premises owners who violate the regulations. The HSA emphasizes the responsibility of landowners and occupiers to prevent the storage of prohibited products on their properties.
