What is Vaping?
Vaping is the physical act of inhaling and exhaling an aerosol produced by a battery-powered e-cigarette or vape. Unlike the traditional method of burning tobacco to smoke, vaping heats a liquid into an aerosol that is then inhaled. This liquid, termed as vape juice, typically contains nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals.
Vaping is currently illegal in Singapore. Many of these vapes contained addictive and harmful substances like etomidate. This is a potential public health threat as Etomidate has been found in one out of three e-vaporisers seized by the authorities
Vaping can damage vital body functions and due to its harmful effects, persons who vape etomidate may walk in an unsteadily gait, appear to be in a daze and unaware of their surroundings. The Government is taking tougher actions against vaping. We will impose much stiffer penalties and step up nation-wide enforcement.
Act wisely. Stop all vaping now. Quit today before it's too late. If you need help to quit? Call
