I think cigarettes have the effect of making you sick eventually, no matter where they come from.
This thread is so pathetic that it's actually quite sad. My advice to all smokers if this: if you cannot afford to smoke, try till you die to quit smoking.
few things are more tragic than seeing smokers trying to save nickels and dimes while inhaling cancer sticks.

More than 10 years ago, I was driving back home from JB. I was stopped by custom officer, my car was pulled to a side. Custom officer started to search underneath my dashboard and other hidden area( they know where to search)
Me: Sir, what are you looking for
Officer: Do you have any cigarettes to declare?.
Me: Yes, I have 2 open-pack cigarettes in my pants.
Officer: Any more cigarettes you have?.
Me: No more Sir.
This Officer was more interested in looking for carton box of cigarettes hiding in the car. Nothing found, and I was let go and told me next time only
one packet allowed.
If you declare, the most you pay duties. If you hide somewhere in an unusual place.
You will be charged for smuggling contraband cigarettes.

The " 1 open-pack - 1 less stick" rule only applicable to Malaysian workers coming to Singapore. True. No such rule for Singaporeans. So, it is the
discretions of the Custom Officers.
" Have you anything to declare" This is the signature of Custom Officers.
If you have declared accordingly you will have solved the hassles, and never argue with them. Be humble and ignorant.
Fines and duties are two different thing.
Buy in Singapore pay the tax, help the economy, help to pay for your 1st division government, who care so much for your health, to discourage you to stop smoking.
Why help another country to pay for their tobacco tax( even though low)!
Help your government, pay the tax, smoke in peace, no need to fear being caught at the customs!
So, get peace!..buy your smoke in Singapore!
Yes I agree. Buy at the food-court better. They are fresher !!
So there you have it, it up to you smokers if you want to believe this or continue telling yourself, it's ok, it alright, as long as I have my own definition of "personal consumption" I can bring in dutiable goods like nobody's busines

how about bringing in the tobacco leaf and rolling it yourself ?

that's how one of my friends is doing
the fella says it serves 2 purposes _ 1) save money, and 2) his doctor always recommended that he should have some form of exercise
There was never a -1 stick personal comsuption rule. All ciggies cannot be brought across by singaporeans. From what i heard from my malaysian friends who are PR here, even they are not allow this -1 stick rule.
But what they did was just buy whatever amount they need and place it inside they luggage. The most important thing was NOT TO HIDE THE CIGGIES. So when they go to the green check out point, they hope not to kenna tahan by the Customs official. Then they are home free.
So if sway sway kenna tahan, the first thing the customs will ask was anything to declare, they act like suddenly remember there ciggies in the luggage and quickly take them out to show the custom official. Never give excuses and cooperate with the official. Like that, all they had to pay was just the custom duties and gst.
Try other funny stunts will had to pay duties, gst and FINES.

Last time too much hassle to process the paperwork for the gst for 1 packet of cigs, so they just ignore. Now they more desperate for revenue, no more alchohol, no more cigs, nothing , zip.
PAP is getting bad to worse
If you hate PAP so much, the best thing to get back at them and also do yourself a big favour is to quit smoking!
This is crystal clear fact. Wish more will stop smoking.

Guys, don't kid yourself. No such thing as bringing in opened cigarette pack through custom. Unpaid duty is unpaid duty cigarettes. Come next Jan, whether opened or not opened, if the stick does not show "SDPC", you'll be in trouble. No need to explain.

Can you see how despicable they are. They are laying the blame on Chee Soon Juan. Note > S.D.P.C. > Singapore Democractic Party Charges or Chee.

Last friday 10 oct 08, My friend and I went to jb to buy 2 packets of tobacco, on returning back to singapore, the singapore custom officer check my friend and found 1 packet of tobacco in his pocket, he was subsequently fined $180. My friend told the officer that its for personal consumption and the officer told my friend that he should open the packet of tobacco.
I was lucky to escape.

I use to get from duty-free shops at airport departure terminals one to two cartons when I travel abroad. On my return usually I would have finished them all except an opened packet in my pocket. Insofar me too have not encounter any problem clearing excise. I believe there may be still a limited quota allowed or they would have closed those duty-free shops.
