Paiseh lah... I outta sch for N yrs liao...Originally posted by gaoyue:No leh, the odd one out is the one who smokes in class.
im glad this had induced the virtue of "sharing" among smoke teens......Originally posted by wuming78:in a way im glad the price of cigarettes are this high now - at least it deters some of these teens from starting, and if they actually tried, stops them from continuing.
when i started as a teenager it was less den $2 for 10 sticksOriginally posted by FireIce:when i was a teenager, it was less than $3 for 10s.....
Pffft... Yea RIGHT! It's because of the duties on the cigarettes. Don't you know that they know tax you per stick? That's the reason why the price is going up. The government takes it and just uses it like it uses ur income tax, GST, road tax, ERP, etc...Originally posted by www:they are two seperate questions:
1. teens pick up smoking because of peer pressure.
2. as long as govt identify its something that many cannot do without, the price will somehow shoot up, regardless of what commodity and what reasons. e.g. cigarettes, cars, mrt fares, boozes and etc.
and the money will go to? e.g. the seven wonders.

Aniwaez, I think the real question is, why do people still do it after all these Health Education lessons? My friend got an "A" for her project on not smoking, but one week later, she started smoking... I think it's to do with family background... Then they mix with the bad company, the school dropouts, etc... and pick up smoking because they're desperate to cling onto this "family".
What is SAT KI?Originally posted by ETboy:they think smoking very SAT KI ?
