Smokers will need to pay 5-10% more from today onward.

Beat the Pappy Scums at their own game..

Buy contra ciggies and smoke it at home.

Great move by the govt. Hope more ppl will quit.

Like what you say.... If a vote is possible only at $100, PAP will win 100%.

Only those whom benefit from PAP will vote for them. The rest of us only do not like them, but not up to the extend to buy a voting right and vote against them.

but i heard those who quit abruptly has severe side effects...

until today, there is no verification on these, anybody can shade light on these...

Yes, my desire was quite strong. It felt like a chore for quite a while, costing money only. It also held me back with my cycling, stamina is sooo much better now.

To stop smoking is all in the head. I personally don't believe in patches, electronic ciggies, acupuncture and such.

I have never heard of any physical reaction from giving up smoking normal cigarettes, other then the 'urge' itself. To resist this urge is in the head only.

Harder drugs might give you a 'Cold turkey' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_turkey)

PAP really like to target some people.
It is not fair to target the smoker. we dun want to live an extra few year in old age, so you can put us in johor.

Bullshit!

Those maggots in white target everyone in Sinkapore.
From the very young to the very old.
Smokers and non smokers alike

Where they can squeeze, they will squeeze and squeeze
For the greater glory of LKY

So that they then can get more crumbs from the table LKY is feasting on

 

[escher]

Btw, I was smoking about 3 packs a day, for about 30++ years.

I gave that up cold turkey, over 6 months ago.
About the main reason was that a pack cost about $3. The thought of giving that bastard LKY 8-9 bucks each pack was too much.
So I gave up. Not a cigarette since then.

So smokers, if you want to give $$$ to that bastard LKY, go ahead.
Lift your backside high high for him to screw as well.

final day for me...no more tobacco duty :oIo:

You should have not picked up the habit in the first place.

You saying 20 sticks packet? That is heavy smoking. Not easy to quit. If you can do it, then you've a very strong desire to quit.

Do you think acupuncture works?

Not tough at all. I have heard of several cases of men who smoke 20-30 sticks a day until got health problems in the forties and fifties. The specialist doc told them straight, if you want to die within one or two years, then continue to smoke. Almost overnight, these smokers quit totally.

A lot of side effects, like suddenly got plenty of free time, more money in bank, breathe better, mouth cleaner and family members that don't smoke looks happier too.

Yup to all that.

Can smell roses in garden so much better. And can smell armpits and deodourants, both equally bad.

No need viagra anymore.

And most important of all, you know you not giving bastard LKY at least 8 bucks for each pack of cigarettes.
