This is the reason that "they" are scared off. If everyone quits than there goes their millions down the drain.

Actually tobacco duties only accounts for roughly 2% of tax collected(based on 2011 data). It is the lost in revenue from pharmaceutical companies that causes the big hoolabaloo.

Take Sweden for example, Snus has greatly reduced the number of tobacco related diseases(backed by 25 years of clinical data) and as a result people are spending less on health care. This is a disaster for pharma as they can no longer sell as much drugs and services, especially NRT treatments in Sweden. Sweden was a grave disaster for big pharma.

Apply that to Singapore, you get reduced medisave withdrawals, reduce spending on drugs, reduced usage of hospital facilities and expenditure on healthcare greatly reduced. Everything gets dragged down. You think the government would allow this to happen?

Some things are there to force you to spend money.
 
If there's a juice which has the exact same taste and smell as an analog except for the harmful chemicals I would probably vape it. Not sure why but I kinda miss that taste lol

Everything that people just posted about going outside out of habit after starting to vape and feeling my pockets were empty with no analogs or lighters was absolutely the case for me too.
The times that I have lit up analogs since I started vaping (in July), I can't say it completely turned me off, but it had a harshness that I never perceived before. Still love the smell of analog smoke though - breathing others' second-hand smoke.
 
Can anyone verify this... if I take a stick of analog once in a blue moon will it affect my health or something :(
Feeling uneasy whenever I take a drag of analog..

Wont affect bah, cause for me right after i started vaping and yes i still have the crave to smoke analog but whenever i take a stick from my friend, i wont finish the stick like how i used to in the pass, i mearly smoked like half a stick then throw liao. Cause i think the bitterness of the analog makes me feel uneasy. But will still smoke analog whenever im in the public or outside of my house :)
 
Btw went to Haji lane yesterday and saw one UNCLE taking a ego twist black color and was chatting with a girl while vaping, you know what he said? He say " Its like sheesha" and he vape machiam its legal in singapore, i really feel like going there tell the uncle to keep his pv and say that this is nothing like sheesha.

Well since there are liquid which taste like those roll your own.. I guess there will be those which taste like marlboro or winston huh :D

Nope... those are almost impossible to replicate through available technology. OTS cigarettes are known to have additives in them and flavour enhancers. Different curing methods also result in different tastes and aroma. So unless flavour manufacturers know the exact process that the tobacco has gone through, it would be close to impossible to replicate the OTS flavour.

On that note, many additives in OTS cigarettes are not FDA approved to be used in food flavourings. Given the majority of flavourings available are FDA certified to be used in food, it is unlikely tobacco additives will end up in ejuice flavourings.

Don't forget something, the 4000+ chemicals found in cigarettes are obtained through reverse engineering. Tobacco companies have, for the longest time, refused to disclose what goes into their products due to industry confidentiality.
