Summary

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in Singapore seized over S$1.1 million (approximately RM3.37 million) worth of vaporizers and related components in an operation on February 24, 2026. Almost 67,000 vape products were confiscated, and a 29-year-old man was arrested for his suspected involvement in importing and distributing the products from a commercial warehouse in Mandai. Investigations are ongoing. These seizures mark the largest operation of its kind since September 2025.
