Ruriimasu 1st Gear June 1, 2012 Share June 1, 2012 Dubai bans selling tobacco for 24 hours Why isnt our government doing something similar? Can we file a lawsuit about them allowing the pollution of air with 2nd hand smoke and eventually slowly poisoning us? Dubai bans selling tobacco for 24 hours DUBAI: Nearly 300 stores in the Gulf emirate of Dubai will ban the sale of cigarettes for 24 hours on Thursday to mark the World No Tobacco Day, local media reported. "In Dubai, nearly 300 outlets including petrol stations and supermarkets will stop selling tobacco for 24 hours," reported English daily, The National. Another daily, 7Days, said the move was to spread awareness about smoking hazards. "The move is aimed at spreading awareness about the dangers of cigarette smoking to make people think about tobacco consumption as it kills millions of people and affects public health," the daily quoted Redha Salaman, director of public health and safety at Dubai municipality, as saying. "One in four deaths is linked to smoking-related diseases" in the United Arab Emirates, another local daily, Gulf News, quoted a hospital official as saying. The sale of cigarettes in Dubai is prohibited to anyone below 20 years of age and public smoking is banned in the emirate, including in hotels, restaurants, cafes and offices. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruriimasu 1st Gear June 1, 2012 Author Share June 1, 2012 my point is, since government admits it is bad for health and leads to cancer. resorts to printing gruelsome photos onto the packagings so that in future victim smokers cannot sue them for allowing the sale of harmful products to them. it is like pre-empt and washing their hands off, as long as i inform the smokers it is not my responsibility that they get cancer and i still happily collect my taxes. not right mah. and for them to collect this kind of tax, 2nd hand smokers suffer too.

Nzy Twincharged June 2, 2012 Share June 2, 2012 Maybe the government should just try other methods to control the smokers in Singapore. Rather than just banning smoking at certain areas. The could just say no healthcare subsidies for smokers even if they are Singaporean or low income. Make it illegal for smokers to get any sort of medical insurance or life insurance since they don't care about their life and want to die anyway. I think this will work better. If you ban smoking at some places they'll just go elsewhere to smoke. Not much difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars and buses is something that you need to use. Whereas smoking doesn't give any benefits to anyone at all. Not even the smoker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask garment to ban them hor! [thumbsup] These are not totally without benefits. Proven that moderate amount of alcoholic drinks can be beneficial to you. Salt and sugar is also beneficial in moderation. Its only too much then will cause problems. Can you name any benefit that smoking gives you? Other than killing yourself and others? I don't think smoking provides any benefits right? The reason why smoking should be banned or controlled is because there is totally no point in smoking at all. Causes pollution and kills people. Its the same as why drugs are illegal. No benefits. Only can kill you. Edited June 2, 2012 by Nzy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
