Rahayu Mahzam on disrupting cross-border vape supply chains
In 2025, Singapore authorities detected 59 large-scale vape smuggling cases and seized around 230,000 e-vaporisers and related products. This was done through intelligence-sharing with foreign counterparts. The Health Sciences Authority also works with e-commerce, social media and messaging platforms to remove online listings of e-vaporisers, with more than 10,000 such ads taken down in the past two years. Minister of State for Health Rahayu Mahzam gave these details in parliament on Tuesday (Feb 3) in answer to an MP’s questions.
