Three teenagers who brazenly used an electronic vaporiser on board an MRT train, and posted the act on social media, have been hauled up by the authorities.
In a statement on Friday (July 17), the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) said an 18-year-old boy was fined $500 for using an e-vaporiser.
The battery-powered device heats a liquid called “vape juice”, which contains nicotine, to produce a vapour that is then inhaled.
The HSA said a 16-year-old girl was fined $200 for the same offence, and was also given a conditional warning for providing false information during the investigation and possessing a packet of cigarettes.
A third member of the group – a 13-year-old girl – was given a conditional warning for using an e-vaporiser.
The HSA said it was alerted on March 29 to a video of the teenagers using the e-vaporiser in the MRT cabin. The video was filmed and uploaded on social media by one of the teens.
An eight-second video circulating online shows a teenage girl inhaling from a pen-like object and blowing vapour into a boy’s shirt while someone else films them.
