Why is Singapore so much against Ecigarettes?
Hard to say. Protecting tobacco tax like in so many other places ? Hardly. 2011 budget shows a mere 750 mill US from tobacco tax. Compared to their take on other sources and a total revenue of 61 billion, it's a compartively low.
Maybe they kinda went off half-cocked on that like most of South America, using that flawed FDA 'study' to ban it outright rather than waiting it out a bit till more hard data was in.
Governments the world over aren't exactly known for backing off on decisions, even if they may have been questionable....
Dunno how gov't-citizenship interaction works over yonder, so no clue whether petioning the gov't to re-evaluate it's stance on vaping would have even a slight chance....
