In light of news from UK,

They are definitely aware about this la, just that they are too lazy to do anything about it. With the current tax infrastructure of cigarettes why bother with this? But all hope is not lost where they actually recently lift the short term HIV tourist ban so who knows with more persuasion it might become a reality?

we all love singapore for many reasons but this I guess..

yea they might change... but it for sure will take a long time... look at the pinkdot for an example...

Instead of all the back ups you need, why not ask yourself and ask this, where is the real evidence report from hisham and the authorities stating their claims on vaping being harmful, and analogs being a more healthier and unbanned option over ecigs?

They keep blaming and disagreeing with other countries, but have they produced any reports? They are just a bunch of cowards who are blatantly telling the whole world that taxes are their only source of salary, and they will never let anything jeopardise the tobacco industry because they rather see you die as an analog user, and see your loved ones die as second-hand smokers, than to see their salary decrease because taxes drop alot.

Since this is ECF, to the people from all over the world if you are reading this, yes this is like corruption in the so-called beautiful SG that you tourists adore. If the government in your country is finding ways to make lives better for you as citizens, ours is forcing us to loathe the place we were born. And yes, I for one am actively finding ways to get out of this darn little hellhole.

So people from all over the world, think twice before thinking of settling down over in SG. Hell, I would even think thrice about being a tourist here. A mere bottle of mineral water costs 2 bucks when in Canada it sells a carton (24 bottles) for only 1.99! My friend from Germany came over here for a week and told me this: "If I were you, I would have long killed myself than to suffer in this country for 30 over years."

For those who still keep hopes of vaping being legalised here, it isn't gonna happen. If there were even 0.1% of hope of it being legalised, that small little chewing gum ban would have been lifted already. Come on, a small little case of a gum stuck on an MRT train door and a government (who has time and again repeated that they care about their people most), being so petty for 30 years?! Who f**king bans GUM?!

Trust me, even if the entire world legalise it, SG will be the only that will still ban it.

Bro, Chewing gum ban has already been lifted like a couple of years back. You can easily purchase chewing gum from any pharmacy in Singapore. LOL. Besides that, having such a negative viewpoint of your own country and telling the world how disgusted you are in your own birth nation is just sad.

Firstly, not only are you not having faith in your own country, you are also not doing anything productive to make a difference in this country. If you have tried countless times and failed. Respect to you. But if you won't even lift a finger to help push for change, I don't think we deserve to complain.

Because each and every member of the community is a voice, and a number that adds to that voice.

Comparing bottled water alone is like tunnel vision perspective. Do you know how expensive taxi's or public transport per ride is in those countries you quoted compared to SG? Have you ever considered the fact that the nearest mall in those countries may be an hour's drive instead of a 5-minute walk?

Not meant to shoot you down or anything. But every country has their own pros and cons. Just wanted to point it out. It's all about perspective.
