  must conduct riot infront of parliment
  and must say the slogan loudly
  'hello PM, ban cig or you resign'
  then it will work out

  Let's look at some numbers. The government collects $721 million a year from cigarette tax. At $11 a pack, Singapore has already seen smuggling increase by 470% according to seizure figures released by Singapore Immigration.
  
  Start a riot? Are you smoking pot?

  Non-smokers should just eat indoors. Smokers out-doors. What is the point of allocating 20% of the seating areas if the smokers and non-smokers are just going to be seated side by side?

  They will never ban one ah. Sure high revenue they get from selling.
  For those non-smoker, u should be thanking me and other smokers cause we contributed a lot to the country by just buying cigarette lah.
  
  The goverment should come up with a medical fund for smokers who contributed so much to the revenue.

  Indeed, with the amount of money collected from tobacco, the government can easily build many smoking lounges or smoking corners exclusively for smokers. Or they can credit extra dollars to smokers' medisave. Shouldn't let non-smokers enjoy the benefits of taxes collected from smokers.
