Retailer's licence suspended for selling cigarettes to underaged youth  

A tobacco retailer at Woodlands Avenue 7 has had his retail licence suspended after an employee was caught selling cigarettes to underaged youths for the second time.

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) said the licence of Hub Seng Huat Newspapers Agency has been suspended for six months from last Saturday.

On March 20, an employee was caught selling cigarettes to an underaged youth and was fined S$2,000. In August last year, another employee from the shop was also caught committing the same offence.

Hub Seng Huat Newspapers Agency is the second tobacco retailer to have its licence suspended this year.
