Vincent, don’t be childish. The government’s effort is not motivated by recovering tax revenues but out of concern for our well-being and health. You do know the harmful effects of smoking and vaping, don’t you? The high taxes of tobacco products are to deter unhealthy habits and reduce the healthcare burden. That’s why smoking will be banned from youngsters in the near future and vaping is made illegal. So Vincent, you should praise 4G PAP 😂

Smuggle ciggies is a few years. But if smuggle Class A hard drugs is then gone case. I cannot say that word that best describe the fact . You tube has been cenosoring my comments. Either the youtube AI censor or CNA or SG gov. But such facts you don't make it known to people, they think just a few years only. Then they get played out by the backstage boss who put the hard drugs in the car. Then the freedom brigade come out act hero. But is partly caused by the fact that information has been suppressed by youtube AI or whoever. Like the previous case , malaysian security guard runner caught with heroin that exceed the limit. Then those activists from both Malaysia and Singapore activate activist mode.

Vapes should be taxed and legalised in Singapore. They are less harmful than cigarettes and help smokers quit to a less harmful habit. Also legislation of vaps can control their sale so under 18 year old cannot buy them.

[@Monkey_D_Luffy56]

Ohh noo, you are absolutely wrong. 1. These kinds of vapes only existed for a few years and the mortality rate is higher than cigarette smokers, some cigarette smokers even live for more than a century, I'm not claiming cigarettes are safer than vapes but my point is it's ridiculous to say vapes are safer than cigarettes 2. Only a small, I mean really small amount of people that were able to transition from cigarettes to vape completely, but majority of them are going back to cigarettes in no time and I saw it myself because my friends and other people I know that tried to transition from cigarettes to vapes failed 3. This wouldn't work, alcohol and tobacco are only sold for adults and yet there're a lot of minors that are able to get it either by their older friends or on shady markets 4. This vape is only a gateway for the kids to try something else other than vape like cigarettes, weeds, or worse other illegal drugs that can destroy a mental health like cocaine etc (you get the idea) 5. Vape users are far more disrespectful than cigarette smokers, why? Vape users are gonna blow the smoke anywhere at anytime to make themselves look cool while cigarette smokers are just gonna find a spot where they can be alone, and smoke it quietly

As you could see clearly apart from vet the rest are Chinese bland cigarettes . So the most efficient way to curt these activities is trace the main source which is mainly on Chinatown area especially hawker center beside OG department store . Which a few Mala store and other Chinese cuisines store and at least 2 drink stores are secretly selling these smuggles cigarettes. I’m sure it will be a Jet pot if conduct a raid there after a few rounds of surveillance.
