SINGAPORE: According to a content creator on TikTok, Health Sciences Authority (HSA) officers “raided” his home to look for vaporizers (vapes) and e-cigarettes. When they showed up at his doorstep, however, he denied them entry.

In Singapore, vaping is an offence under the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act (TCASA). Even if they have no warrant, authorities are allowed to enter the premises to inspect and seize vaping paraphernalia.

Anyone caught buying, using, and owning a vape could be fined as much as S$2,000.

TikTok user Rapperboya has been documenting his ordeal via short videos, which he uploaded on the platform earlier this month, as well as through a YouTube interview on the SINGAPLEX podcast that was posted on Thursday (Nov 28).
