I wish we could talk about how to deal with animal abuse and terrorism, etc, instead of smoking, which is not a fraction as scary.

got CIA and FBI already. how u want to contribute ?"
Kent, I don't know if you can be forgiven for being stupid. You don't read news??? Many a time the authorities were tipped off by informants and man in the street on terrorist activities.

"Doll, there is nothing to forgive... Stupidity is inborn."
Kent's stupidity isn't inborn but a result of degeneration caused by not using his brain.

Milo, because no one is born stupid but many who appear stupid now is a result of being too lazy to use their brain.
yooohooo ... tomalasu .... where are you? do i have to get the pest buster to fumigate you from where you are hiding?
for the longest time i have been ignoring you ... you have been going around the threads saying things to no one in particular, probably thinking you are very witty or outrageous or something. sometimes you try to engage me, get my attention. but i dismissed you like the senile and garrulous old man you probably are.
but today, since you thought that you could be the hero here and be a (gay) knight in shining armour for smokers, i thought i could have a bit of fun with you putting a dent in your armour of shining crazy.
why dont you come out of your gutter now and spread a bit of your bubonic plague? let's have a verbal slam-dunk shall we, tomalasu you overaged asshole.

people with children - who sit near or at the designated smoking tables and thus try to impose their silly "niceties" on nearby smokers - are self-invited to get bashed, if you ask me.
in such circumstances, who the fcuk cares abt 'fresher air' and whatnots, when you think only non-smokers should be in the first priority.
as many as there are inconsiderate and selfish smokers elsewhere, people who hate smokers for their habit are also smugs to a certain extent.

You are obviously someone who is not a parent or married.
If you are, speaking like this shows how immature and irresponsbile you can be. If you are not, u are just a overaged asshole.
You must drink a lot of milo too.
Sambal Belachan, i am sure u are going to have a field day with this clown. He / She is all yours !

Our attitudes clearly reflect who we are.
Intolerant, self-righteous..
and what is the continuous teasing about the Milo drink.
Such childish immature taunting that goes on and on.
As I have said my piece. The proposal is not practical.. not because of the economics but because making it more difficult or illegal won't stop smoking. Smoking is not at the same level as drugs - so let's be realistic.
I would see more and more restrictions and yes, even designated smoking areas - these should be enough.
We live in a city in which we are in close proximity - consideration on both sides are required - smokers and non-smokers.

SM, economic says whenever there is a demand, there would be a supply. Govt intervention such as ban would always result in a black market emerging for the goods.
What u say is known. Still, banning works to a great effect that's y all govt are still banning stuff.
You deny access to the product easily. Cigarettes would probably become much more expensive.

And public policy is not all about money. It is different from business so put on a different cap. Ideally, govt would wanna implement policy that is of public benefit while generating revenue at the same time.
When they have to choose 1 outta 2, they choose public benefit. This is what's great abt Sg govt.

Stanzza,
So you wanna bet if government will ban cigarette for those born after 2000?
I say, NEVER. In in my life-time. Unless there is an alternative in the future.
So if it is not going to happen, you can wish all you can.. it will not be fulfilled.
Taxes on tobacco is useful revenue. Almost a billion dollars in 2010. This is more than 25% of the budget for healthcare.. And the negative impact? I mean smoking is already severely restricted - its impact curtailed - it is really a win-win situation right now..
If you ban it, the revenue is gone. Cigarettes will be much more expensive.. and it the profit will be for those who will smuggle them in.
