Those Sio Hoon Ki Lip Lai. - LupCheong - 27-11-2022

Those Sio Hoon Ki Lip Lai. How many sticks or packets per day. I use to smoke 1 packet per day and quit when the price increase to $10. I having not been smoking 🚬 for many years.


RE: Those Sio Hoon Ki Lip Lai. - p1acebo - 27-11-2022

I no like. I quite mean huan. Those no smoke in correct places I leeport to NEA Big Grin


RE: Those Sio Hoon Ki Lip Lai. - sgh - 27-11-2022

Long long time ago during my NS times they got sell small packet 10 sticks is about $2+. Already to me super expensive. One stick is 20 cents so once light up must quickly puff don't let it burn for nothing. Then must smoke until the very tip to make it worthwhile. Then the price climb up like crazy last I track is big packet 20 sticks $10? That is 50 cents per stick WOW! More than 100% increase.

So I finally quit as i feel monies hard earned cannot be like that burned away. If say the price is cheap like Msia then ok can smoke else heavy drain on wallet not worth it.

When I start smoke cheaper than you, Marlboro small pack I still remember is 1.2 small pack

later Govt greedy for more taxes, blah blah increase and increase EPIC is no more small pack
standard big pack.

Now I still smoke but no more marlboro . In fact some cheaper brand is made from the same company aka philip morris ,

the taste etc a bit like Marlboro but of course not the same.

During NS times I started and used to smoke consulate. Because it was mild and the more important reason was becos it was cheap.

Then I decided to take up running and gave the ciggies up. Healthier and I now gotch more money Laughing

If you are caught smoking a biggie without the SGDP marker on the cigarette you will be fined. Even if you have one stick in yr pocket it will cost you$4k. My friend was caught years back with 2 cartons and was jailed. His wife had to pay the fine of $8k at that point in time about 10 years back.
