Yepp, today is 31 May which is..

World No Tobacco day!

So what does this mean for you as a smoker living in Singapore?
(And nope, I don’t smoke!)

Major supermarket chains like Cold Storage, Giant, Sheng Siong and NTUC Fairprice and some 145 retailers will suspend tobacco sales as part of World No Tobacco Day.

SINGAPORE: Step into a coffee shop or a supermarket on Friday, and chances are you wouldn’t be able to buy cigarettes.

Major supermarket chains like Cold Storage, Giant, Sheng Siong and NTUC Fairprice and some 145 retailers will suspend tobacco sales as part of World No Tobacco Day. Joining in this effort is supermarket giant NTUC FairPrice, which has a  network of over 230 outlets across the island.  Retailers that voluntarily support the movement will display posters to cover up their tobacco display.

Customers will receive Blue Ribbon Magnetic Bookmarks instead of cigarettes. The initiative is aimed at highlighting the negative health effects of smoking. Since the movement started in Singapore in 2011, more small retailers have joined in the cause. One coffee shop in Geylang is taking part in the initiative for the second year.
