Caning and fines for those caught in Singapore drug vape crackdown
Singapore introduces tougher penalties for vaping to combat the rising problems of drug-laced vapes, including fines, longer jail terms, and caning. The city-state has seen a surge in the popularity of etomidate-laced vapes, known as Kpods, with concerns over their effects and health risks. Authorities aim to crackdown on drug abuse facilitated by vapes, with stricter laws coming into effect on September 1st, impacting both locals and foreigners.
