[ 1 ] Among the youths and young adults [ edit ] Smoking prevalence among students in secondary schools, polytechnics, and  Institute of Technical Education  dropped from 8% (survey period: 2011-13) to 4% (survey period: 2014-16).  Among Singapore residents aged 18-29 years, 9.9% surveyed in 2017 smoked, a decline from 17.2% in 2007. The average age of smokers who started smoking daily was 18 years old in 2017. [ 2 ] Legislative history [ edit ] Smoking was first  banned  in buses, cinemas and theaters in September 1970, [ 3 ]  and it was extended to indoor locations where it is frequented by most people in August 1977. After the  King's Cross fire  in 1987, smoking was banned  in the  Singapore MRT . [ 3 ] On 1 July 2005, the ban was extended to bus interchanges and shelters, public toilets and public swimming complexes whereas from 1 July 2006, the ban was extended to coffee shops and  hawker centres .\n On 1 July 2007, the ban was extended to entertainment nightspots, including pubs, bars, lounges, dance clubs, and night clubs. [ 4 ]  The owner of the premises is legally responsible for the non-smoking of the customers. [ 4 ]  The law allows for the construction of designated smoking rooms which can take up to 10% of the total indoor space, or outdoor smoking areas that do not exceed 20% of the outdoor refreshment area. [ 4 ] On 1 January 2009, the ban was extended to all children's  playgrounds , exercise areas, markets, underground and multi-story car parks, ferry terminals and jetties. It was also extended to non-air-conditioned areas in offices, factories, shops, shopping complexes and lift lobbies, [ 5 ]  and within 5 metres (16 ft) of entrances and exits. [ 6 ] On 22 November 2010, citizens of Singapore supported the Towards Tobacco-Free Singapore online campaign. The campaign promotes a proposal (which was published in the British medical journal  Tobacco Control ) to prevent the supply of tobacco to  Singaporeans  born from the year 2000 which would result in a gradual phasing-out of tobacco in Singapore. The launch was put forward by a team consisting of a  lung cancer  surgeon, medical officers, a university professor and a civil servant. [ 7 ] On 15 January 2013, the ban was extended to all common areas of the residential block including link ways from bus stops to residential blocks, void decks, corridors, stairwells, stairways and multi-purpose halls, in addition to covered walkways and link ways, all pedestrian overhead bridges, 5 m from the bus stops and hospital outdoor compounds. However, the residential block smoking ban was not mandatory as there are more people smoking except when during wakes or funerals. [ 8 ] On 1 June 2016, the ban was extended to reservoirs, as well as parks managed by  JTC , town councils, and  NParks . The ban also includes  SAF  and  MHA  camps, where smoking is already banned. [ 9 ] From 30 June 2017, food & beverage outlets are no longer allowed new smoking corners. [ 10 ] On 1 October 2017, the ban was extended to autonomous universities' compounds, private hire vehicles, private education institutes, within 5m of all educational institutions, excursion buses and trishaws. [ 11 ] On 1 January 2019, smoking was banned along the Orchard Road shopping district. Smokers can only light up within designated smoking areas in the precinct. Smoking corners in eateries within the precinct were also removed. [ 12 ] Smokers found flouting the rules are fined a minimum 200  Singapore dollars [ 13 ]  up to a maximum of S$1000 if convicted in court, [ 13 ]  while the managers of the establishments are fined S$200 for a first offence, and S$500 for a subsequent offence. [ 4 ] \nSingapore is famous for being clean, with enforced penalties for  littering ; [ 14 ]  cigarette butt littering is one of the greatest high-rise littering problems. [ 15 ] Staff working for certain government sectors, such as the National Recycling Program, are not allowed to smoke while carrying out their duties. [ 16 ] Proposed ban in private residences [ edit ] In 2018, it was reported by MPs that they received many complaints from their residents about second-hand smoke entering their homes from neighbouring units. [ 17 ] This became a serious issue during the  circult breaker lockdown in 2020 , which forced many people to spend much longer at home. At the same time, smokers were not allowed to leave their homes just to smoke, as it was not considered an essential purpose. It was reported that the  National Environment Agency  (NEA) received 11,400 complaints related to smoking in April 2020 or 2,000 cases more than the same period of 2019. [ 18 ] In October 2020, the Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) for Sustainability and Environment called for a ban on residents smoking near windows or at the balconies of HDB flats and private apartments. [ 19 ] Louis Ng , head of the GPC and Member of Parliament (MP) for  Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency  (GRC) argued that second hand smoke is a “public health concern”, while at the same time noting that some 383 people in Singapore had died from second hand smoke. [ 20 ] [ 21 ] Amy Khor , Senior Minister of State in the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, replied that the ban will not solve the issue but the government will help to increase \"greater social responsibility\", find more ways to mediate between neighbours in such incidents, and also related agencies to better address such incidents. [ 17 ] [ 19 ]  Enforcement of the ban will be hard as more intrusive monitoring of residents' home will be required. [ 19 ] Electronic cigarettes [ edit ] Singapore has banned the importation, sale and distribution of electronic cigarettes since 2018. [ 22 ] Electronic cigarettes, or known as  E-cigarettes or vapes, are currently prohibited under Section 16 (1) of the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act, which is enforced by the  Health Sciences Authority  (HSA). This legislation prohibits the importation, distribution, sale or offer for sale of any confectionery or other food product or any toy or other article that is designed to resemble a tobacco product or the packaging of which is designed to resemble the packaging commonly associated with tobacco products. Those guilty of the offence are liable to a fine of up to $5,000 upon conviction. [ 23 ]  According to  Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan , e-cigarettes are the industry's attempt to attract new users and were marketed to appeal to younger customers, including women. [ 24 ]  Possessing, using or buying vapes carries a maximum fine of $2,000. [ 25 ] In 2023, MacPherson Youth Network launched an anti-vape campaign with youth charity Bilby Community Development. Smokers who voluntarily surrender their vaping devices received a $30 gift voucher each and will not be fined by the  Health Sciences Authority  (HSA). The campaign ended in January 2024 with 70 vapes surrendered. [ 26 ] In July 2025, vape disposal bins were installed within  community centres  around Singapore to encourage smokers to surrender their vapes. [ 27 ]  The bins were secured to prevent tampering and theft of disposed vapes. Cameras were also installed to monitor the bins as a deterrent. [ 27 ]  There were concerns that the camera footages would be used against those who disposed of their vapes through monitoring or identification [ 27 ]  as during the  COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore , data from the contact tracing app and token  TraceTogether  was used in the investigation of the  Punggol Field murder . [ 28 ]  HSA later clarified that there they \"will not be tracing the identities of any persons who had binned the e-vaporisers\". [ 28 ] The  Ministry of Health  also planned to classify  etomidate , which is currently used to lace vape juices, as a Class C drug under the  Misuse of Drugs Act (Singapore) . [ 29 ] In August 2025, during the  Singapore National Day rally ,  Prime Minister Lawrence Wong  said that vaping will be treated as a drug issue and will impose stiffer penalties on vaping. [ 30 ] On 28 August, Health Minister  Ong Ye Kung  said a third of vapers in Singapore are under 18 years old, while more than half are below 30 years old. [ 31 ]  From 2022 to 2024, about 3,100 students from primary and secondary schools, junior colleges and Millenia Institute with 800 students from the institutes of higher learning were caught vaping annually. [ 32 ] As of late August 2025, approximately 260 schools in Singapore have been provided with nicotine test kits. Selected campuses have also implemented the use of  metal detectors  to screen for vaping devices, and schools have promoted a 'peer vigilance culture', encouraging students to report instances of vaping among their classmates. Designated staff in schools are being trained and authorised to enforce rules against the use and distribution of vaping devices, while institutes of higher learning are increasing campus patrols. [ 33 ] Starting from 1 September 2025, stronger penalties will be imposed on vaping. Vape users faced increased fines of $500 and $700 for under 18 and adults respectively. Second time offenders will need to attend rehabilitation programme while repeat offenders will be prosecuted and fined a maximum of $2,000. [ 34 ]  The  Ministry of Education  also allowed schools to \"mete out disciplinary action, adjust the conduct grade of the student offender, and take educative and rehabilitative measures\" on top of penalties provided by the law. [ 32 ]  Other additional penalties for civil servants were also introduced.

Boilerpipe Text	A sign in Singapore to indicate that smoking is allowed Smoking in Singapore is subjected to restrictions enacted through various legislations such as the Smoking (Prohibition in Certain Places) Act, which was first enacted in 1970. In the 2017 national health population survey conducted by the Ministry of Health and Health Promotion Board , it was found that 12% of the population surveyed, aged between 18 and 69, were daily smokers, drop from 18.3% in 1992. [ 1 ] Among the youths and young adults [ edit ] Smoking prevalence among students in secondary schools, polytechnics, and Institute of Technical Education dropped from 8% (survey period: 2011-13) to 4% (survey period: 2014-16). Among Singapore residents aged 18-29 years, 9.9% surveyed in 2017 smoked, a decline from 17.2% in 2007. The average age of smokers who started smoking daily was 18 years old in 2017. [ 2 ] Legislative history [ edit ] Smoking was first banned in buses, cinemas and theaters in September 1970, [ 3 ] and it was extended to indoor locations where it is frequented by most people in August 1977. After the King's Cross fire in 1987, smoking was banned in the Singapore MRT . [ 3 ] On 1 July 2005, the ban was extended to bus interchanges and shelters, public toilets and public swimming complexes whereas from 1 July 2006, the ban was extended to coffee shops and hawker centres . On 1 July 2007, the ban was extended to entertainment nightspots, including pubs, bars, lounges, dance clubs, and night clubs. [ 4 ] The owner of the premises is legally responsible for the non-smoking of the customers. [ 4 ] The law allows for the construction of designated smoking rooms which can take up to 10% of the total indoor space, or outdoor smoking areas that do not exceed 20% of the outdoor refreshment area. [ 4 ] On 1 January 2009, the ban was extended to all children's playgrounds , exercise areas, markets, underground and multi-story car parks, ferry terminals and jetties. It was also extended to non-air-conditioned areas in offices, factories, shops, shopping complexes and lift lobbies, [ 5 ] and within 5 metres (16 ft) of entrances and exits. [ 6 ] On 22 November 2010, citizens of Singapore supported the Towards Tobacco-Free Singapore online campaign. The campaign promotes a proposal (which was published in the British medical journal Tobacco Control ) to prevent the supply of tobacco to Singaporeans born from the year 2000 which would result in a gradual phasing-out of tobacco in Singapore. The launch was put forward by a team consisting of a lung cancer surgeon, medical officers, a university professor and a civil servant. [ 7 ] On 15 January 2013, the ban was extended to all common areas of the residential block including link ways from bus stops to residential blocks, void decks, corridors, stairwells, stairways and multi-purpose halls, in addition to covered walkways and link ways, all pedestrian overhead bridges, 5 m from the bus stops and hospital outdoor compounds. However, the residential block smoking ban was not mandatory as there are more people smoking except when during wakes or funerals. [ 8 ] On 1 June 2016, the ban was extended to reservoirs, as well as parks managed by JTC , town councils, and NParks . The ban also includes SAF and MHA camps, where smoking is already banned. [ 9 ] From 30 June 2017, food & beverage outlets are no longer allowed new smoking corners. [ 10 ] On 1 October 2017, the ban was extended to autonomous universities' compounds, private hire vehicles, private education institutes, within 5m of all educational institutions, excursion buses and trishaws. [ 11 ] On 1 January 2019, smoking was banned along the Orchard Road shopping district. Smokers can only light up within designated smoking areas in the precinct. Smoking corners in eateries within the precinct were also removed. [ 12 ] Smokers found flouting the rules are fined a minimum 200 Singapore dollars [ 13 ] up to a maximum of S$1000 if convicted in court, [ 13 ] while the managers of the establishments are fined S$200 for a first offence, and S$500 for a subsequent offence. [ 4 ] Singapore is famous for being clean, with enforced penalties for littering ; [ 14 ] cigarette butt littering is one of the greatest high-rise littering problems. [ 15 ] Staff working for certain government sectors, such as the National Recycling Program, are not allowed to smoke while carrying out their duties. [ 16 ] Proposed ban in private residences [ edit ] In 2018, it was reported by MPs that they received many complaints from their residents about second-hand smoke entering their homes from neighbouring units. [ 17 ] This became a serious issue during the circult breaker lockdown in 2020 , which forced many people to spend much longer at home. At the same time, smokers were not allowed to leave their homes just to smoke, as it was not considered an essential purpose. It was reported that the National Environment Agency (NEA) received 11,400 complaints related to smoking in April 2020 or 2,000 cases more than the same period of 2019. [ 18 ] In October 2020, the Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) for Sustainability and Environment called for a ban on residents smoking near windows or at the balconies of HDB flats and private apartments. [ 19 ] Louis Ng , head of the GPC and Member of Parliament (MP) for Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency (GRC) argued that second hand smoke is a “public health concern”, while at the same time noting that some 383 people in Singapore had died from second hand smoke. [ 20 ] [ 21 ] Amy Khor , Senior Minister of State in the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, replied that the ban will not solve the issue but the government will help to increase "greater social responsibility", find more ways to mediate between neighbours in such incidents, and also related agencies to better address such incidents. [ 17 ] [ 19 ] Enforcement of the ban will be hard as more intrusive monitoring of residents' home will be required. [ 19 ] Electronic cigarettes [ edit ] Singapore has banned the importation, sale and distribution of electronic cigarettes since 2018. [ 22 ] Electronic cigarettes, or known as E-cigarettes or vapes, are currently prohibited under Section 16 (1) of the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act, which is enforced by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA). This legislation prohibits the importation, distribution, sale or offer for sale of any confectionery or other food product or any toy or other article that is designed to resemble a tobacco product or the packaging of which is designed to resemble the packaging commonly associated with tobacco products. Those guilty of the offence are liable to a fine of up to $5,000 upon conviction. [ 23 ] According to Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan , e-cigarettes are the industry's attempt to attract new users and were marketed to appeal to younger customers, including women. [ 24 ] Possessing, using or buying vapes carries a maximum fine of $2,000. [ 25 ] In 2023, MacPherson Youth Network launched an anti-vape campaign with youth charity Bilby Community Development. Smokers who voluntarily surrender their vaping devices received a $30 gift voucher each and will not be fined by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA). The campaign ended in January 2024 with 70 vapes surrendered. [ 26 ] In July 2025, vape disposal bins were installed within community centres around Singapore to encourage smokers to surrender their vapes. [ 27 ] The bins were secured to prevent tampering and theft of disposed vapes. Cameras were also installed to monitor the bins as a deterrent. [ 27 ] There were concerns that the camera footages would be used against those who disposed of their vapes through monitoring or identification [ 27 ] as during the COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore , data from the contact tracing app and token TraceTogether was used in the investigation of the Punggol Field murder . [ 28 ] HSA later clarified that there they "will not be tracing the identities of any persons who had binned the e-vaporisers". [ 28 ] The Ministry of Health also planned to classify etomidate , which is currently used to lace vape juices, as a Class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act (Singapore) . [ 29 ] In August 2025, during the Singapore National Day rally , Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said that vaping will be treated as a drug issue and will impose stiffer penalties on vaping. [ 30 ] On 28 August, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said a third of vapers in Singapore are under 18 years old, while more than half are below 30 years old. [ 31 ] From 2022 to 2024, about 3,100 students from primary and secondary schools, junior colleges and Millenia Institute with 800 students from the institutes of higher learning were caught vaping annually. [ 32 ] As of late August 2025, approximately 260 schools in Singapore have been provided with nicotine test kits. Selected campuses have also implemented the use of metal detectors to screen for vaping devices, and schools have promoted a 'peer vigilance culture', encouraging students to report instances of vaping among their classmates. Designated staff in schools are being trained and authorised to enforce rules against the use and distribution of vaping devices, while institutes of higher learning are increasing campus patrols. [ 33 ] Starting from 1 September 2025, stronger penalties will be imposed on vaping. Vape users faced increased fines of $500 and $700 for under 18 and adults respectively. Second time offenders will need to attend rehabilitation programme while repeat offenders will be prosecuted and fined a maximum of $2,000. [ 34 ] The Ministry of Education also allowed schools to "mete out disciplinary action, adjust the conduct grade of the student offender, and take educative and rehabilitative measures" on top of penalties provided by the law. [ 32 ] Other additional penalties for civil servants were also introduced. [ 32 ]

The ban also includes [SAF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Armed_Forces "Singapore Armed Forces") and [MHA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Home_Affairs_$Singapore$ "Ministry of Home Affairs (Singapore)") camps, where smoking is already banned.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-9) From 30 June 2017, food & beverage outlets are no longer allowed new smoking corners.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-10) On 1 October 2017, the ban was extended to autonomous universities' compounds, private hire vehicles, private education institutes, within 5m of all educational institutions, excursion buses and trishaws.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-11) On 1 January 2019, smoking was banned along the Orchard Road shopping district. Smokers can only light up within designated smoking areas in the precinct. Smoking corners in eateries within the precinct were also removed.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-12) Smokers found flouting the rules are fined a minimum 200 [Singapore dollars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_dollar "Singapore dollar")[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-Entertainment_Outlets_Details-13) up to a maximum of S\$1000 if convicted in court,[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-Entertainment_Outlets_Details-13) while the managers of the establishments are fined S\$200 for a first offence, and S\$500 for a subsequent offence.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-a_step_forward-4) Singapore is famous for being clean, with enforced penalties for [littering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littering "Littering");[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-news24_20060704-14) cigarette butt littering is one of the greatest high-rise littering problems.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-15) Staff working for certain government sectors, such as the National Recycling Program, are not allowed to smoke while carrying out their duties.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-No_smoking_while_working-16) ### Proposed ban in private residences \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Smoking_in_Singapore&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Proposed ban in private residences")\] In 2018, it was reported by MPs that they received many complaints from their residents about second-hand smoke entering their homes from neighbouring units.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-shsmk-17) This became a serious issue during the [circult breaker lockdown in 2020](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%9321_Singapore_circuit_breaker_measures "2020–21 Singapore circuit breaker measures"), which forced many people to spend much longer at home. At the same time, smokers were not allowed to leave their homes just to smoke, as it was not considered an essential purpose. It was reported that the [National Environment Agency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Environment_Agency "National Environment Agency") (NEA) received 11,400 complaints related to smoking in April 2020 or 2,000 cases more than the same period of 2019.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-18) In October 2020, the Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) for Sustainability and Environment called for a ban on residents smoking near windows or at the balconies of HDB flats and private apartments.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-:0-19) [Louis Ng](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Ng "Louis Ng"), head of the GPC and Member of Parliament (MP) for [Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nee_Soon_Group_Representation_Constituency "Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency") (GRC) argued that second hand smoke is a “public health concern”, while at the same time noting that some 383 people in Singapore had died from second hand smoke.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-20)[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-21) [Amy Khor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Khor "Amy Khor"), Senior Minister of State in the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, replied that the ban will not solve the issue but the government will help to increase "greater social responsibility", find more ways to mediate between neighbours in such incidents, and also related agencies to better address such incidents.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-shsmk-17)[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-:0-19) Enforcement of the ban will be hard as more intrusive monitoring of residents' home will be required.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-:0-19) ## Electronic cigarettes \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Smoking_in_Singapore&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Electronic cigarettes")\] Main article: [Electronic cigarette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_cigarette "Electronic cigarette") Singapore has banned the importation, sale and distribution of electronic cigarettes since 2018.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-Singapore-22) Electronic cigarettes, or known as E-cigarettes or vapes, are currently prohibited under Section 16 (1) of the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act, which is enforced by the [Health Sciences Authority](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_Sciences_Authority "Health Sciences Authority") (HSA). This legislation prohibits the importation, distribution, sale or offer for sale of any confectionery or other food product or any toy or other article that is designed to resemble a tobacco product or the packaging of which is designed to resemble the packaging commonly associated with tobacco products. Those guilty of the offence are liable to a fine of up to \$5,000 upon conviction.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-HSA-23) According to [Health Minister](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Health_$Singapore$ "Ministry of Health (Singapore)") [Khaw Boon Wan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khaw_Boon_Wan "Khaw Boon Wan"), e-cigarettes are the industry's attempt to attract new users and were marketed to appeal to younger customers, including women.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-Straits_Times-24) Possessing, using or buying vapes carries a maximum fine of \$2,000.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-25) ### 2023 \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Smoking_in_Singapore&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: 2023")\] In 2023, MacPherson Youth Network launched an anti-vape campaign with youth charity Bilby Community Development. Smokers who voluntarily surrender their vaping devices received a \$30 gift voucher each and will not be fined by the [Health Sciences Authority](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_Sciences_Authority "Health Sciences Authority") (HSA). The campaign ended in January 2024 with 70 vapes surrendered.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-26) ### 2025 \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Smoking_in_Singapore&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: 2025")\] In July 2025, vape disposal bins were installed within [community centres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_centre "Community centre") around Singapore to encourage smokers to surrender their vapes.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-:1-27) The bins were secured to prevent tampering and theft of disposed vapes. Cameras were also installed to monitor the bins as a deterrent.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-:1-27) There were concerns that the camera footages would be used against those who disposed of their vapes through monitoring or identification[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-:1-27) as during the [COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Singapore "COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore"), data from the contact tracing app and token [TraceTogether](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TraceTogether "TraceTogether") was used in the investigation of the [Punggol Field murder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punggol_Field_murder "Punggol Field murder").[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-:2-28) HSA later clarified that there they "will not be tracing the identities of any persons who had binned the e-vaporisers".[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-:2-28) The [Ministry of Health](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Health_$Singapore$ "Ministry of Health (Singapore)") also planned to classify [etomidate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etomidate "Etomidate"), which is currently used to lace vape juices, as a Class C drug under the [Misuse of Drugs Act (Singapore)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misuse_of_Drugs_Act_$Singapore$ "Misuse of Drugs Act (Singapore)").[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-29) In August 2025, during the [Singapore National Day rally](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_National_Day_rally "Singapore National Day rally"), [Prime Minister](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Singapore "Prime Minister of Singapore") [Lawrence Wong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Wong "Lawrence Wong") said that vaping will be treated as a drug issue and will impose stiffer penalties on vaping.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-30) On 28 August, Health Minister [Ong Ye Kung](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ong_Ye_Kung "Ong Ye Kung") said a third of vapers in Singapore are under 18 years old, while more than half are below 30 years old.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-31) From 2022 to 2024, about 3,100 students from primary and secondary schools, junior colleges and Millenia Institute with 800 students from the institutes of higher learning were caught vaping annually.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-:3-32) As of late August 2025, approximately 260 schools in Singapore have been provided with nicotine test kits. Selected campuses have also implemented the use of [metal detectors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_detector "Metal detector") to screen for vaping devices, and schools have promoted a 'peer vigilance culture', encouraging students to report instances of vaping among their classmates. Designated staff in schools are being trained and authorised to enforce rules against the use and distribution of vaping devices, while institutes of higher learning are increasing campus patrols.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-33) Starting from 1 September 2025, stronger penalties will be imposed on vaping. Vape users faced increased fines of \$500 and \$700 for under 18 and adults respectively. Second time offenders will need to attend rehabilitation programme while repeat offenders will be prosecuted and fined a maximum of \$2,000.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-34) The [Ministry of Education](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Education_$Singapore$ "Ministry of Education (Singapore)") also allowed schools to "mete out disciplinary action, adjust the conduct grade of the student offender, and take educative and rehabilitative measures" on top of penalties provided by the law.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-:3-32) Other additional penalties for civil servants were also introduced.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Singapore#cite_note-:3-32) ## See also \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Smoking_in_Singapore&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: See also")\] - [Health in Singapore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_in_Singapore "Health in Singapore") ## References \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Smoking_in_Singapore&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: References")\] 1.
