0 Engagements A supermarket has had its tobacco retail licence revoked by the Health Sciences Authority for selling cigarettes to a student in school uniform. The Excellence Supermarket at 131 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh was caught by HSA's ground surveillance and enforcement officers and will no longer be able to sell tobacco products.
The tobacco retail licence will be suspended for six months for the first offence and revoked for the second offence. HSA said:"However, if any outlet is found selling tobacco products to underage persons in school uniform or those below 12 years of age, the tobacco retail licence will be revoked, even at the first offence." Another retailer who had its tobacco retail licence revoked was Fair Inn Food Place at 806 Woodlands Street 81, a repeat offender.
