Smoking cannot be banned simply like chewing gum because of.. The high taxes! :rotflmao: But to be serious, yes, there will be a lot of repercussions from banning smoking. Tourism will also get impacted badly as foreigners will avoid Singapore like the plague if smoking isn't allowed.. For plenty of people overseas alike, smoking is a lifestyle. One that cannot simply be 'dropped' to their whim and fancy.

Think smoking is more difficult to ban becos of withdrawal symptons.

The follow-up actions for locals, as well as foreigners and tourists will be massive in regards to managing the withdrawal symptons. Not sure will nicotine patch be enough. Give a supply of nicotine patch to each smoking tourist who visit our country hmmmmmmmmm.

For now, I guess it is more and more inconvenient for smokers to smoke in Singapore. Though it is very angonising if happen to have smoking neighbours.

I didnt read the article.

I dont understand what is the stand of the relevant authorities. Since it is known that smoking is bad for all, why smoking is still allowed in Singapore. Can we take drastic measures similar to banning chewing gum?
