Singapore has tough regulations against vaping and electronic cigarettes, banning their import for both personal use and trade, as well as their sale, purchase (in person and online), and advertising. According to first-hand sources report for the GSTHR, possession of these products is criminalised, and they are confiscated from tourists.
