PM Lawrence Wong Declares War on Vapes and Kpods in Singapore

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced on 17 August 2025 that Singapore will take much tougher action against vaping, treating it as a serious drug issue with stiffer penalties. While vaping has been banned since 2018, illegal imports continue, often containing harmful substances like etomidate. The government plans to impose harsher fines, jail time, and mandatory rehabilitation for offenders, while providing addiction support for users. A nationwide enforcement campaign will target schools, tertiary institutions, and national service personnel. Recent measures include reclassifying etomidate under the Misuse of Drugs Act, collaboration between HSA and Hong Kong authorities, and hiring investigators to crack down on Kpods. The public can report vaping offences via hotline or online, and those seeking help to quit will not face penalties. Authorities aim to combine education, enforcement, and rehabilitation to curb vaping and protect young people in Singapore.
