Ban on Tobacco Imports and Sale of Tobacco Products
-
If i heard correctly over radio this morning, the authorities are talking about BANNING tobacco imports and its sale in Singapore, in 10 years time.
If they are really serious, and they pull this through, I WILL solute our government! I will continue to VOTE for them if they really BAN ciggies!!!
I'm a smoker, and I hope they can successfully do this. I WANT TO QUIT!
I want to QUIT, but don't know how. Please ban it!!!! -
no way the govt need the revenue from tabacco tax
-
Just ban it
Many coffeeshop owners are going to call it a day once coffeeshop becomes no smoking even (Even with that small smoking area) -
Very profitable to govt...
1 stick 39.5 cents leh, 1 pack already dunno how much...
Haven't incl other taxes like GST leh -
That guy from the cancer centre already said that even though he knows that it may not go through, he wanted the garmen to hear their voices.
Don't think it would go through lor... with the coming IRs, if we ban smoking its like giving you a toilet to shit without toilet paper! -

Total ban, later no more babies -
Agreed. They earn lotsa revenue from tobacco products. Y do you think they wanna ban it?Originally posted by crazy monkey:no way the govt need the revenue from tabacco tax
Skali really ban tobacco and increase prices and tax on other things to make up for the loss of revenue. How?
Which one do you prefer?? -
then our gst will be like......16%

Wah...Originally posted by FireIce:then our gst will be like......16% Income tax also increase sure mati! -
in the end, revenue vs amt spent on cancer treatment..
revenue adds to the GDP
amt spent on cancer treatment also adds to the GDP
what do you think will happen?
anyway, except for the expected increase in taxes, does not affect me at all anymore

Why must take ten years? Why can't the gov ban it over night or let the existing stock to be cleared and ban it immediately. Why chewing gum can just ban overnight? I'm a heavy smoker...I would be grateful to the gov if they could ban it immediately.Originally posted by ShutterBug:If i heard correctly over radio this morning, the authorities are talking about BANNING tobacco imports and its sale in Singapore, in 10 years time.
