In case you didn’t know, anyone caught puffing on a cigarette on Orchard Road’s No Smoking Zone can and will be fined. The shopping stretch has gone smoke-free, meaning you can only smoke within one of the more than 50 yellow boxes in the area. And the government doesn’t kid about stuff like that, as one man found out the hard way recently.
That just raises so many questions. Was the box too small? Was it terribly cramped with people huddling together, desperate for a smoke? Was he just trying to tempt fate by rebelliously sticking one foot out? “[He] probably didn’t hit the quota today,” the smoker said. “What a joke. Do share this around, don’t give any more money to these fools and be really careful where you smoke, they’re everywhere.”
Alas, even though his Facebook account could no longer be found as of yesterday, the photos and text from his post quickly resurfaced on several news sites. Nothing ever really disappears online, folks, don’t forget that.
