<!-- story content : start --> SMOKELESS tobacco products and innocuous-looking but potentially addictive bite-sized nicotine candies will be banned in Singapore, under stricter anti-smoking laws that were introduced in Parliament yesterday. The health authorities also want to stop the sale of nicotine substitutes such as snus - a powdered form of tobacco - snuff and herbal cigarettes. The objective is to put these products beyond the reach of experimenting youths so that they do not become addicted to nicotine.

This is among the measures drawn up to discourage smoking and tobacco addiction among young people. Another key measure to tighten the screws against smoking: Banning misleading cigarette packet labels such as 'light', 'ultra-light' or 'mild'. The World Health Organisation (WHO) maintains that these labels mislead smokers into thinking the products are safer. Research shows 'light' cigarettes are just as harmful and addictive as other kinds.

Why go through the hassle of all these anti smoking bull shit? Revenue from tobacco tax is simply too huge to ignore? Just put a death sentence to all smokers! Or are the government officials thinking that the tobacco will leave a after taste when the average Singaporeans are done sucking their dick, once back home their wife might not like to have second hand tobacco smelling dick in their mouth. So advise to all government official practice mouth to ass instead of ass to mouth then your wife will only taste shit like the average Singaporeans!

Taking smokeless tobacco products is no different from taking drugs or sniffling glue :(

Smoking causing harm to people near the smoker but sniffing glue and taking drug doesn't effect neardy people health.
Everyone have choice but please don't harm others. That all who smoke/take drug but please please leave other alone.
