Smoking in Singapore

Can someone tell me about smoking in Singapore? Is it allowed
anywhere? Restaurants? Walking down the street? etc?

THis may sound like an idiotic question but I do not want to get in
trouble on a coming business trip to Singapore!

Thanks for any information and guidance!

Everywhere. Just don't throw the butts on the ground.

You intentionally inhale deadly poisonous smoke and you are worried about
Singapore?


Thanks for any information and guidance!

Anywhere except in offices, shopping centers, bars or restaurants as
soon as food (with cutlery) is serverd there.

It is allowed in bars, at least the ones I go to.
Also it is allowed in restaurants with outdoor eating areas.
Basically the rule seems to be: no smoking indoors except pubs.
And definitely no throwing the butts on the ground outdoors.

You can smoke at the bus stops, but most taxi lines request that you
don't light up.

Hello there,

I lived in Singapore for 2 yrs before came to Middle East. The
impression I got you can't smoke anywhere. Either in the bus, bus stop,
airport, taxi, restaurants, shops... basically anywhere there are
people. And becareful... sometime they have plainclothes police... don't
put ur self in trouble.

Probably just best smoke in ur hotel room (make sure u ask for
smoking room).

You should behave exactly the same way you behave anywhere else in the
world.

That is, do not smoke anywhere where your smoke might cause illness or
discomfort to any other person, unless that person is an adult who has
freely and explicitly consented to it without any pressure from you or
anyone else.

Excellent response.
