SINGAPORE: To carry out an illicit online business selling electronic cigarettes and related accessories, a man invested about S$10,000 and operated for a year and eight months before the Health Sciences Authority caught him in a set-up.

Sim sold at least three sets of e-cigarette sets to buyers in Tampines, Keppel Bay Condominium and Clementi Mall in 2017. He also sold components of imitation tobacco products to at least three buyers that year via WeChat. The pair met up on Sep 4, 2017, in Boon Lay. When Sim arrived to pass the officer his items, HSA officers at the scene identified themselves and searched Sim's rented vehicle.

The drug is used to improve wakefulness in adults with excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy and other sleep disorders, and includes side effects like headaches, insomnia, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Fatal overdoses have also been associated with the drug.
