the ban was only on the silicone type implant..they were linking and causing alot of scar tissue and damage...that was back in the early nineties, and there have been many advances...now the silicone is in a gel form..like a gummy bear, and they have a had a lot of success with them in european trial..

Nope, that's just a myth. In fact, our stomach doesn't digest gum at all! Since it's made out of soluble fiber, chewing gum passes right through us. So gum comes out with the rest of your waste, usually a day or two after you eat it. Although you shouldn't swallow chewing gum, it is not considered harmful.

Definitely get books and DVDs from about it.  It could help you out like if you moved to Singapore Chewing gum is illegal.  Porn is illegal,if you get caught with drugs they put you to death and if you litter it is a very very expensive fine.  You would want to know that going in

Yuck, I'll be sure not to fry an egg on a sidewalk on a hot day in China.\n\nAlso for the time being, until I get the word, I'm not picking any chewing gum off the ground anymore to recycling it either.

Singapore without a doubt. What other place fines you for even bringing chewing-gum into the country and then sells you a humorous t-shirt to commemorate the fact!

No countries have fully legalized marijuana.\nHowever some countries have effectively decriminilized it.\nThe Netherlands and England fall into this category (The Netherlands much moreso than England)\nTolerance by the local police varies from place to place. In some parts of the United States (Santa Cruz, for instance) it is practically decriminilized whereas in others the penalties are steep.\n\nDont get caught with marijuana in Singapore. They're give you the death penalty.

It's prohibited in the United States; not elsewhere.

I'm correcting your grammar: \n\nHello, My name is Sharlyn . Today Im gonna talk ABOUT the Economic aspect of Singapore. First, let me ask:  HAVE any of you been to Singapore or THOUGHT ABOUT doing business there perhaps???\n\nDoing business in Singapore is acutally BENEFICIAL(desirable?) BECAUSE their economy is a highly developed and successful free market economy (meaning only businesses and consumers decide what they will produce and purchase, so basically there is no governmental intervention )

Ugh!\n\nI guess because really bad taste (no pun intended) is not illegal.

Yep, snus can officially only be bought in Sweden (within the EU, at least). Something to do with it being 'a gateway to smoking', according to the European Commission

Chewing gum is not an alternative to eating. chewing gum triggers the body to produce digestive enzymes which with no food in the stomach can cause ulcers.Secondly alot of people confuse thirst with hunger pangs, so try drinking an eight oz. glass of water if it has only been 1-2 hours since your last full meal.

It is illegal to cane both boys and girls in school in Singapore.Besides,I'm wondering that too...\nBut in my school,both boys and girls have to do the same punishment,regardless of our gender. :)

I agree with you. Although I am not a smoker, we don't ban alcohol or other things that could ''POSSIBLY IN THE LONG RUN CAUSE YOU HARM'', why do they get away with doing that to tobacco...how about Potato Chips????

I never heard of chewing gum debates. You mean like whether kids should be allowed to chew gum in class? Try typing it in Google.

Here in Queensland, Australia we don't allow people to smoke inside buildings like shopping centres etc, within a certain distance to the serving area of a bar, in any place where food is served, at childrens playgrounds, within 10 meters of a building entrance or at bus shelters.\n\nThe legislation in your area would need to be more specific other than "public places".
