You don't know what you are talking about. I do..... The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified secondhand smoke as a Group A carcinogen, w...

maybe they should give pubs and discos the option of deciding what they want.

Haha! Didnt u koe hw Adolf Hitler dominates his country!
Ooops... kant say too much, ltr kana ban by the g**t! Cool Cool

dragg SG

isnt it funny to ban cigarettes but open 2 casinoes?

oh, gambling is not bad for health. only bad for your bank account!!!

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Just to add a bit. Bank health - bad
Social health - bad

All related to health, so ban!!!! Meant as a joke.

crazy monkey SG

not lah both will still be around because $$ go to govt. Laughing

dragg SG

frankly i dont understand where the govt is going with this.

a total ban is not possible at all. the high price of cigarettes is already enough. why restrict them?

and banning smoking at pubs or discos will only give businesses a hard time.

oxford mushroom SG

Perhaps instead of banning smoking the government can force smokers to pay A class rates for smoking related diseases when they fall ill. No reason why non-smokers should subsidize them through taxes.

sbst275 SG

So it is fair for ppl to inhale 2nd hand smoke?

dragg SG

things dont work that way.

so do we ask hepatitis patients to pay class a rates too. i dont eat crockles, so i shouldnt be subsidizing.

actually a lot of things are no conclusive. lots of people smoke but they dont all die of cancer. smoking is just one of the main cause of cancer.

aleo SG

What wrong with 2nd hand smoke...If you dnt sniff in alot...not much harm lah...Unless you are everyday taking in alot of them...Dnt be so "kia see" lah...
So health conscious until this stage what for....G**t really making live difficult for citizens...It is fate that one will live till how long...Die means die...Even if u good health or dnt take in 2nd hand smoke still will die when your time is up...My grandfather at 70plus still smoke, health also so good...

A pub that’s only for smokers, that’s actually not a bad idea. smokers already paid their sin taxes so there must be at least some space for them to smoke. the only thing stopping from this kind of pub opening is the impression it gives that it’s ok to smoke.

dragg SG

they should allow it. then all the smokers can go there and enjoy. of course non-smokers are also welcome.

isnt this better than telling the smokers to stay away from pubs and discos?

The man who was death SG

yeah but this will give the youths the impression that it's ok to smoke, that's why the govt wun allow

dragg SG

if that is the case they should be targetting the youths not the whole smoking population.

chewing gum is an example. they should target people who throw chewing gum indiscriminately but instead they chose to ban it.

easy way out right?

The man who was death SG

the taxes the smokers pay and the costs it takes to treat all smoking related diseases is about 1:1 ratio so no problem there.

The man who was death SG

but at the same time it damages the country's image also, the govt want smoke free if possible

dragg SG

image? i didnt know smoking damages a countries image. the chinese and japanese are probably the heaviest smokers around. and they are also one of the richest. our govt want their tourist dollar right?

The man who was death SG

yep i guess that's the way it is

dragg SG

so is the ban about the youth, the image or our health?

or all three?
