A video emerged online showing a middle-aged man brazenly vaping in public, inside an MRT train cabin with many commuters around him.
The man was seen in the video fiddling around with his phone, as he inhaled from the vaporiser and blew the mist out.
The video was presumably taken by another commuter who was sitting opposite the man, as seen from her reflection in the window behind the man.
A commuter beside the vaping man appeared to be unbothered by his brazen law-breaking.
The man was also seen with his bag taking up another seat beside him, with a luggage that is presumably his, being places on his left.
Potential penalties
Under section 16(2A) of the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act (TCASA), it is illegal to possess, purchase and use vaporizers in Singapore as of 1 February 2018.
Persons found guilty of this offense can be fined up to $2,000.
