It seems to have nothing to do with the program.
It has to do with vaping being illegal in Singapore since 2018, for any purpose or reason.
Oh, and there’s always caning to help with your addictions…
I haven’t had a cigarette since December 15th.
I have been using a vape to get me over the hump after dinner, while drinking coffee, etc.
Vapes aren’t quite as nasty as cigarettes and I hope to be off those soon.
Singapore seems a bit harsh on this, but trading one addiction for another doesn’t seem to be very helpful either.

“Quitters, Inc.”
Smoker Dick Morrison is advised by a friend to join Quitters, Inc., to kick his habit. Clinic counselor Vinnie Donatti explains that the clinic has a 100% success rate due to a uniquely persuasive method: every time Dick smokes a cigarette, horrors of increasing magnitude will befall his wife and child.
Using the tomcat that Donatti’s assistant, Junk, caught in the street, Donatti demonstrates the first of these horrors: the tomcat is put in a cage and tormented with electric shocks coming from the floor.
Donatti explains that if his new client is caught with a cigarette, Dick’s wife Cindy will be shocked while he is forced to watch. For subsequent infractions, his daughter will be shocked, then his wife raped. Finally, Dick himself will be killed. Dick hides the threats from his family.
That night, Dick is angered by the methods Quitters, Inc., uses and notices a pack of cigarettes in his desk. He prepares to smoke, but notices a pair of feet in his closet, realizing Quitters, Inc., takes their threat seriously. The following day, Dick visits his daughter and gives her a doll. While at the school, Dick sees Donatti, who warns him that the organization will be watching him closely.
During a stressful traffic jam, Dick smokes after finding an old pack of cigarettes in his glove box. After watching Cindy suffer in the electric cage, Dick futilely attacks Donatti and Junk; the tomcat escapes in the scuffle. Dick is determined never to smoke again and tells his wife everything.
Time passes, and Dick is smoke-free, but has gained weight due to quitting. Donatti prescribes illegal diet pills and sets a target weight for Dick. Dick jokingly asks what will happen if he continues to gain weight; Donatti responds that someone will cut off his wife’s little finger.
Dick and his wife have a dinner party with the friend who recommended Quitters, Inc., to Dick and his wife, and toast the company. As she raises her glass, Dick sees that his friend’s wife is missing her little finger.
I’ve been vaping for 10 years or more. Last time they checked my lungs, they were clear. I tried everything else to get off of cigarettes. Vaping is the only thing that worked.
I just enjoy smoking.
I don't like vaping. I don't like dipping tobacco. I don't like nicotine gum.
I like to smoke. I like the clank of a Zippo. I like the first drag. I like cigarettes and I don't want to quit because they provide me a little bit of pleasure.
And, no, I don't give two turds about lung cancer.
I’ve been smoking tobacco pipes since 1966. I quit cigarettes in 1974 when the price went up to fifty-five cents per pack. I used some of the savings to buy nice pipes.
