Is it illegal to ship chewing gum into Singapore?
I understand that there are no gums on sale in SG, wonder if I am breaking the law to ship in a few boxes of gums???

You can buy dental chewing gum from Pharmacies but not in supermarkets. You have to sign for it I believe but I can't say for sure as I don't chew gum.

Couldn't agree more, one of the things I can't stand about people in the UK and as you and others have said it reminds me of a cow chewing the cud every time I look at somebody chewing the damned stuff and trying to look macho when in reality they look as thick as two bricks!Quasimodo wrote:Why would you want to look like a regurgitative cow and mess up the place.

Some of us can manage to chew gum and keep our gobs discreetly shut (and have minty fresh breath
). We have also been known to throw it away in a responsible manner...
I always go to Costco and load up on gum on home leave. I've brought back 20 - 30 packs at a time with no issue. Has to be refrigerated though, otherwise it gets soft almost instantly in this climate.

This is my second coming . . . the previous was about 07.30 . . . anyway that's another story.sundaymorningstaple wrote:I wondered how long before Quasi would be resurrected.

Yes, but you would be the only person who would actually look good chewing away . . . plus you are in your late 60's so social responsibility is not an unknown quantity to you.Some of us can manage to chew gum and keep our gobs discreetly shut (and have minty fresh breath Very Happy).

thanks, i thought it was too good to be true then! no worries i am not a gum addict either but sometime gum helps to keep the nicotine pains away that's all!sundaymorningstaple wrote:You can buy dental chewing gum from Pharmacies but not in supermarkets.
