E-cigarettes in singapore

Please can anyone tell me what the situation is with the customs at the airport regarding e-cigarettes

My daughter and son in law are visiting me in Australia and stopping in Singapore for a couple of days first. I cannot find out if they can take their own private e-cigarette there and purchase the vapour in Singapore if they cannot take a supply with them

I have phoned the customs and I have asked them by message on their facebook page and not getting anywhere The phone automatic messages is always bout importation by suppliers not for the reason I am asking

Thank you for your speedy reply I do not know how they will cope for the 4/5 days between leaving UK and reaching Australia without vaping I would hate for them to go back to smoking actual cigarettes Thanks I hate the thought of them going back to real cigs even for a few days and then having to buy an e device in Australia if they can do so here

You cannot even have e-cigarettes. No one can have possession of, purchasing or using the e-cigarettes will face a fine of up to S$2,000. So anyone bring into the country would have bigger problems than just not being able to smoke for a few days.

Thank you That is what I read as well from the link above seems like it goes with chewing gum in Singapore

Singapore also does not have any duty free allowance for tobacco products, so any duty free they buy at their home airport (or any other packs they might have in their luggage) will be subject to either taxes or confiscation on arrival at Singapore.

They can buy locally but no point in buying more than they need for a few days in Singapore anyway as Australia has a really tiny limit for tobacco products.

They should read about duty-free allowances and banned products for both countries in their respective Customs pages.

I guess what it comes down to is a possible change in plans and just get a connecting flight in Singapore or a completely different stop over country if vaping is something they can't do without.

Tank you everyone for your replies They will just have to get around the problem as well as they can (glad I am not a smoker) The flights and hotels are booked so no changes will be made but I will buy the e cigs and vapor ready for them when they get to me in the mean time it will have to be anti smoking patches or actual cigarettes:evilsmile:

I wish haha. Was an ex smoker for 40 years and my last cigarette was on the 22nd October 2018 onboard our first evening on the Mariner of the Seas in the Casino ;)

Not easy to quit so I better not speak too soon. :D

Singapore is now very strict with their smoking policy. All covered areas or walkways, near Hospitals, School etc, smoking is prohibited and if caught, you will be FINE. I had seen some being caught.
