With effect from 15 Janauary, smokers would have less places to light up. Like myself, every single non-smoker (except for those who sell cigarettes) is definitely willing to give this ban extension a round of applause.
From the list of new areas which are now smoke-free, I can only conclude that smokers will have a tougher time when puffing. That is because they have to endure the sun because places where smoking is allowed are hardly sheltered.
I dare not heap praise on myself but I think that I am generally not too intolerant of second-hand smoke so long as guy is moderately considerate. Those who freely take a ciggie break without giving a damn about their surroundings deserve to be the first casualties of tobacco.
Well, judging from those who light up in public, this latest smoking ban extension doesn't seem to make much of an impact at the moment. People are still smoking on overhead bridges, bus stops and sheltered linkways. It gets worse when these smokers take their time to walk.
The ban extension should also include parks and beaches since these are places which boast higher amounts of human traffic. Fines should also increase to an "almost unreasonable" amount in order to make smokers think twice before taking a stick out of the box.
Change of topic. My condolences to the family, especially the mother, of the two Tampines boys who had to leave at such a young age. Life is fragile, so always cherish those around you and do not take things for granted. And that applies to non-living things as well.
Change of topic again. On a lighter note, I read that 27 out of the 59 eligible voters living in overseas decided to cast their vote. PAP got 19 votes, WP received 7 and there was one spoilt vote. What! One guy actually went all the way to the polling station just to spoil his vote? Simply retarded.
