Public healthcare staff caught with vapes or vaping could be sacked

Staff at the three public healthcare clusters in Singapore who are caught vaping or possessing vapes could face dismissal.
SingHealth, NHG Health and the National University Health System (NUHS) said they are taking a strong stance against staff vaping, and are implementing disciplinary measures.
These range from a formal written warning for staff caught for the first time for possessing or using a vaping device to dismissal for repeat offenders and those caught with drug-laced vapes.
The Government had earlier announced that it would toughen its stance on vaping, with stricter measures going into effect on Sept 1. They included higher fines for abusers and harsher penalties for suppliers.
