Cigarettes

I've been smoking for almost half my life now. It aint a proud fact, but its a fact. Back then, fags were about cigarettes, not gays. Back then, fags were cheap. Back then, there was no problems whatsoever, social or economical.

now, the men in white have been steadily increasing smoke prices, and are soon gonna even go as far as telling us where to smoke. It wouldn't be a huge matter, but the ridiculous thing is that they're gonna enforce it in bars and pubs too. What would a bar and pub be without the smokes? It just wouldn't be the same. Pubs were where people like me can go out, hang around, watch a match, and drink and smoke. Now they're going to say I cant smoke in pubs?

why don't they just pass a law banning cigarette sales here in Singapore? Sure, the outcry would be huge, but when did the government ever take public opinion into its decision making? People cried foul when transport fees were raised, and the government simply did nothing. Face it, its a 1-party dictatorship masquerading as a democracy here. The real fact that the government isn't banning cig sales is simply because of the money(taxes) they make from it. Money makes the world go round. If they'd simply banned cig sales, there'd be a huge drop in government income, and the people would most probably have to have their taxes raised, just to maintain the ridiculously enormous sum of money needed to 'maintain' those government officials. And what are they getting paid for? To look out for ways to increase their already obscene amount of money making means.
