A Gov.sg microsite has been launched to educate and deter the public from vaping.The page, titled Stop Vaping, went live the day after Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced that Singapore will crack down on vaping and treat it «as a drug issue» during his National Day Rally (NDR) speech on Aug 17.Referring to vaping as a «public health threat», the microsite consists of information on how it is harmful as well as resources, avenues for reporting and helplines.It also highlights the government's zero-tolerance stance on vaping, urging users to bin their devices and quit immediately.New anti-vaping posters assuring the public that there will be no penalties for those who dispose of their vapes can also be seen on the microsite.These posters have also been spotted around void decks and lift landings.Vaping has been banned in Singapore since 2018 and those found possessing, using or buying vapes can be fined up to $2,000.
