SINGAPORE — A 36-year-old man who peddled electronic vaporisers, or e-vaporisers, to students at a retail outlet in a neighbourhood shopping mall was nabbed earlier this month, said the Health Sciences Authority (HSA).

E-vaporisers and related components with an estimated street value of more than $11,000 were also seized.

HSA said in a media release on Tuesday that it conducted an operation at a retail outlet in West Mall in Bukit Batok and a residence in Tampines on Jan 20 following a tip-off that the shop was selling prohibited e-vaporisers to students. “HSA then mounted a covert operation to catch the e-vaporiser peddler. The peddler was operating from his workplace at the mall and had stored the prohibited items there as well as at his residence,” said a spokesperson.

A total of more than 400 e-vaporisers and 350 components were seized from these two locations and the man is currently assisting in the investigation. HSA said it will not hesitate to take stern enforcement actions against those who conduct illegal activities such as the peddling of prohibited e-vaporisers to the general public, especially to youths and students.Figures
