Over 280 vapes seized, 115 people caught during raid on nightlife outlets
Singapore authorities seized over 280 e-vaporisers during a raid on nightlife outlets like KTV lounges, bars and pubs on Friday night (Aug 15). 115 people were caught during the blitz by the Health Sciences Authority and the police. The youngest is 17 and the oldest is 61. Five people are also suspected of possessing etomidate-laced devices, also known as Kpods. Singapore announced last month that those charged with possession of etomidate, which is an anaesthetic, will soon face heavier sentences and mandatory rehabilitation. HSA says it will work with the Singapore Nightlife Business Association to display warnings that vaping is illegal. The signs will feature a QR code, allowing patrons and staff to report vaping offences. Such businesses have also been urged to deny entry to those with vape devices. Rachel Teng was at the raid.
