SINGAPORE — A 35-year-old man who illegally sold electronic vaporisers online was fined a record $99,000 on Monday (9 September), said the Health Science Authority (HSA) in a press release.

The fine imposed on Chong Weisheng is the stiffest penalty for the offence under the Tobacco to date, following a $64,500 fine imposed on an offender in 2014.

Investigations revealed that he had illegally bought the electronic cigarettes from various overseas suppliers, said the HSA. These included changing the website domain name twice to avoid detection and having a password feature to enable access to a third website set up by him.
