Down with the smoke!
Ah hah ha! bring out the champagne! Down with the smokers! As of yesterday, smoking is banned in bars and clubs in Singapore, except in designated smoking rooms and corners, or they could be fined a maximum of $1,000 or face up to six months' jail or both.
I haven't really stepped in a club proper before (only for concert), but I heard the norm/the culture is that it is smoky, and dim.
Second-hand smoke is more deadly than the puffs a smoker takes. So I fully support this move!
My neighbours both upstairs and downstairs puff at their windows and shamelessly throw their ashes down. and I can smell them from a mile away. I cough loudly and curse at the windowside whenever I smell them.
I have confronted my smoker neighbour at my old home before. He had a toddler and denied throwing ashes down, saying he makes full use of his ash trays at home. That liar.
I have put home-made 'pamphlets' in my neighbours' mailbox before....hehe...ask me more about it.
Singapore had long banned smoking at bus shelters too! But they(smokers) still can't stop themselves when it's raining and think lighting up and puffing away at a ciggie will keep themselves warm....geez. I have asked a smoker ex-colleague about this before when I was doing my internship and he said, a ciggie does NOT keep one warm. It's just an exuse.
My dad said he just quit smoking one day(I don't really believe he quit that fast). He was a heavy smoker (smoked at least 1 pack a day) in his 20s. Kudos to him!
Are smoke-breaks at the office-place fair to non-smokers??
Smoking stinks. Smoking sucks. Every puff kills.
PS: Yesterday also saw England's ban on smoking in offices, pubs and restaurants.
