You should be careful when eating chewing gum in Singapore. Why do you say that?

Because there is a ban in Singapore, it is forbidden to import and sell fragrant sugar. In 1992, Singapore promulgated a law prohibiting the import and sale of chewing gum. If you spit chewing gum everywhere, you will even go to jail. Therefore, when traveling to Singapore, you must eat chewing gum carefully, and you must not throw up everywhere.

1. Is chewing gum allowed in Singapore?

Actually, it's edible. It's forbidden to "sell" chewing gum in Singapore, and it's "spitting" chewing gum. Therefore, as a non-Singaporean, when traveling to Singapore, I brought some chewing gum, which is edible. But after eating, you must wrap the gum in paper and throw it into the trash can. If you throw it casually, you will definitely go to jail.

2. Why did Singapore ban chewing gum?

This is because of personal quality problems. There are always some people who throw up everywhere after eating chewing gum, and some people stick chewing gum everywhere casually, which leads to some induction doors not being closed, resulting in huge security risks. Moreover, it is very difficult for people to clean up the chewing gum that they spit everywhere. Therefore, in order to solve this problem at that time, everyone was simply not allowed to eat chewing gum.

Third, isn't there any chewing gum in Singapore?

actually, there is, but this chewing gum is not the usual kind of chewing gum, but medical chewing gum. It was in 24 that Singapore established trade relations with the United States, so this policy was relaxed. From then on, Singaporeans can go to pharmacies to buy special chewing gum for treating teeth or quitting smoking according to doctors' prescriptions. Of course, I don't think this kind of chewing gum will taste very good.
