Singapore Targets Vaping With Stiffer Penalties, Jail Time

Singapore will introduce stiffer penalties for vaping offenses, including possible jail time for “severe” violations, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced on Sunday.

“So far we’ve treated vaping like tobacco — at most we impose a fine, but that’s no longer enough,” he announced during a national address. “We will treat this as a drug issue and impose much stiffer penalties.”
