Q: Why is chewing gum not allowed in Singapore?

Reason: Chewing gum is forbidden in public places in Singapore. Chewing gum is one of the most difficult rubbish to remove. In Singapore, chewing gum is even considered illegal. Because chewing gum stuck to the ground will bring great trouble to the cleaning work, and it may also affect the operation of subway trains and elevators.

From 65438 to 0992, Singapore became the first country in the world to ban chewing gum, and the government resolutely banned the import, sale and manufacture of chewing gum. The Singapore government also strictly stipulates that people who smuggle chewing gum will be sentenced to 1 year imprisonment, with a maximum fine of $65,438+0,000 yuan, but excluding a few carriers.

In May 2004, the Singapore government finally let chewing gum appear on the market again. However, even so, people must register their names and ID cards before buying chewing gum, and the types of chewing gum they can choose are limited.

Extended data:

Most chewing gum will eventually leave a small colloidal object, which will pollute the environment. Gum was originally an Indian food. After being introduced into civilized society, it has become a good product for civilized people to relieve mental anxiety and exercise facial muscles. On the other hand, it has become an out-and-out urban environment "killer".

Main hazards of chewing gum: The main components of chewing gum are sugar, syrup and gum base. The first two are soluble in water and will slowly melt with saliva when chewed in the mouth, so people spit out mainly gum base after chewing.

The gum base consists of complex components, mainly rubber and calcium carbonate, with strong adhesion, which is also the reason why the chewing gum traces on the ground are not easy to clean. If chewing gum gets on clothes, it can be frozen and hardened in the refrigerator, which can be removed more conveniently.
