HSA revokes licence of retailer for e-vaporiser violations

It seized over 120 e-vaporisers from the retailers.

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) revoked the tobacco retail licence of Real Mate Mini-Mart for possession of illegal electronic vaporisers (e-vaporisers) and duty-unpaid cigarettes.

HSA seized over 120 e-vaporisers and components from the tobacco retail outlet in its raid.

Under the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act, selling e-vaporisers is liable to a fine of $10,000, or imprisonment of six months for the first offence, and a fine of $20,000, or imprisonment of 12 months for the second offence.

The purchase, use and possession of e-vaporisers carries a maximum fine of $2,000.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
