That one is $1.60 I think.... very flat packaging and good to conceal inside school uniform and bring to school lol...... Still remember the malays in my school KNN bring lighter to school only but never bring ciggs one and come inside toilet to zong ciggs from others sia.... lol....

There are many such guys in NS who bumped sticks off others, but never buy any cigarettes of their own.

Fewer smokers over the years of anti smoking campaigns have resulted in lower taxes collected. So must increase %taxes.

Ciggee Tax Revenue = Ciggee Tax x Volume

Volume decreases, increase Ciggee Tax to achieve desired Revenue.

Hear say more cigarettes taxes are collected because Singapore needs to donate to Palestine

Malay ends up become the losers because they are many Malay smokers

The SG govt will never ban tobacco and liquor because the taxes are too tempting to forego.

Vaping is against the law because there is no tax $$$ to be collected.

My former classmate claims that some mama shops used to sell individual sticks of cigarettes from a tin at 5 cents to students in the 1980s.

The opposite is true, the demand for counterfeit cigarettes will therefore increase as a result.

Yes, and Hacks sweets were selling at three for 10 cents, and a regular pack of Calbee potato chips was priced at 50 cents.

According to this link, a 1.5kg pack has about 400 sweets.

https://www.comoffice.sg/PP413

This regular pack weighs 130g, so approx 35 sweets per pack.

https://www.fairprice.com.sg/product/227985

Listed price is $2.52. Each sweet costs about 70 cents.

3.3 cents per sweet in the 1980s, to 70 cents per sweet today. Welcome to inflation.
