NO SMOKING??

Will you look at this?? I mean who're we kidding here? I'd shoot myself the day they announce that only 10%...oops! sorry...20% of the country's total land area is open for smoking!!!

I was having conversation with a Japanese colleague and he went wide-eyed when I told him that Singapore's authorities implemented this rule recently. "Honto desu ka??!" he exclaimed. "Honto!" I replied. Then we had a good laugh. For a good measure, I had a colleague scan & email me the above letter.
I suppose there's alot of smokers out there griping about this move. I do too. But I guess what frustrates me is not really the ban. The issue appear more than just skin deep for me. It's about the principle!

D'uh!
