Vaper or Vapist in Singapore

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/more-caught-using-vaporisers-in-2022-hsa

Vaping is getting very popular and common here in Singapore even though it is still illegal,  I think there is a fine but no jail. I see it quite often at smoking areas or sometimes when they walk, they just vape and put it back in their pocket.

Personally I see vaping the same as smoking, I'm a smoker by the way but I don't vape, vape also don't have that smoke smell, you know after you smoke you walk into a room everybody will know you smoked but vaping don't have this problem, they even have all the funky flavours like lychee, skittles and whatnot.

Some of my colleagues also vape, when I asked where they got it from, they always say they got it from a friend's friend, main reason why they vape is because it is cheaper than buying cigarettes.

Health-wise don't know man, some articles say smoking more harmful, some say vaping more harmful, I guess in the end it all comes down to price, but if Singapore really starts to regulate vaping, I bet it won't be as cheap anymore, sure heavily taxed like cigarettes.

My friends keep asking me to try vaping, haven't really got to trying yet, I still prefer cigarettes and hand-rolls and these are legal, maybe I will try vaping when it becomes legal, because now I don't know where they get it from, not sure if it is safe to use.

I think government should regulate it, it's all over Singapore anyway, I don't think it's like heroin or some other highly addictive drugs which can ruin families, a heroin addict can't stay on a job, they will steal and rob to satisfy their addiction, but vapers or vapists not really.

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation ...
