NUS Steps Up Enforcement and Checks Against Vaping

The Straits Times

|

September 01, 2025

The National University of Singapore will be adopting a zero-tolerance approach to vaping from Sept 1 with enhanced enforcement and beefed-up surveillance.

- Zhaki Abdullah

To ensure that NUS stays vape-free, campus emergency and security officers will be increasing patrols and checks around the campus, the university said in an e-mail on Aug 31 to students.

Those who spot illegal vaping, or the sale and possession of e-vaporisers, can make a report to these officers via a 24-hour hotline or to the university's whistle-blowing channels, said Associate Professor Stella Tan, associate provost for student conduct at the NUS Office of Student Conduct.

Students caught vaping will be reported to the authorities, said Prof Tan in the e-mail seen by The Straits Times.
