Parliament: Bill tabled to raise minimum smoking age from 18 to 21

Dr Tan Kok Kuan, a resident doctor at Dr Tan & Partners @ Novena, said though that there is a case to be made for permitting certain types of e-cigarettes that contain tobacco but no flavourings.

These provide smokers with the nicotine fix, but are less likely to entice young smokers, he said.

"I'm of the opinion that being 100 per cent smoke free is not possible," he said. "It makes sense to allow products which are not healthy, but are less harmful than the ones we currently have."
