Health Sciences Authority Busts Illegal E-Cigarette Distributor

The Health Sciences Authority conducted a raid in Bukit Panjang and shut down an illegal e-cigarette distributor. A 31-year-old Singaporean man was arrested by police in connection with multiple offenses, including the sale of e-cigarettes worth about S$100,000.

Preliminary investigations show that the suspect illegally purchased these prohibited products from foreign suppliers, then made or modified them into e-cigarettes for online sale. The Health Sciences Authority has already shut down the related website, and the suspect is assisting with the investigation.

If convicted, a first-time offender may face a fine of up to S$5,000. Repeat offenders may be fined up to S$10,000.
