SMOKERS should get ready to stub out - there will be even fewer public places to light up in from Oct 1.
The no-smoking ban will be extended to bus shelters and interchanges, public pools and toilets, community clubs and open-air stadiums, as Singapore intensifies its war against cancer-causing nicotine.
After that, the Government will mount another assault later in the year, at pubs and discos.
But it has not decided whether to have an all-out ban or to let them have smoking rooms.
Yet another target it is eyeing: hawker centres and coffee shops. A decision will be made by year-end.
......
Today, only 14 per cent of Singaporeans are smokers, down from 18 per cent in 1992.
wah.. 14% oni meh..
