Hanoi, March 7 -- Singapore's Parliament on March 6 passed a new Tobacco and Vaporisers Control Act, significantly increasing penalties for offences related to electronic cigarettes.
The law, amended from the former Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act and other related legislation, introduces tougher enforcement measures against vaping and related products.
Under the new regulations, adults who involve young people or vulnerable individuals in smuggling or supplying Kpods - vape devices often mixed with the anaesthetic agent etomidate - could face up to 20 years in prison and up to 15 strokes of the cane.
Adults who possess a Kpod but fail to prevent minors from using it may face jail terms of up to 10 years.
