Why scanning The Straits Times annoys the hell out of me

"Singapore cancer experts to push for tobacco ban" (p4)

Look out for other Singapore medical experts to push for the ban of McDonald's hamburgers, beer, chocolate, mooncakes and coconut milk soon.

Oh, some people say that internet is addictive. Are we banning that next?

"Court date looms for charged bloggers (pH2)

How a report that doesn't say anything new on the subject qualifies as 'news' boggles my mind. It would actually be less shameless to run an in-house advertisement saying, "Special round-the-clock coverage on trial of charged bloggers! Don't forget to pick up your copy of ST on !"

I have never met a lung cancer patient or a 'COPD' (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or emphysema) patient who didn't smoke. They spend so much money on their medication and treatment that they wish they never knew the taste of tobacco. They also die really horribly. Unlike fatty foods and alcohol, which are okay in moderation, smoking is an unforgiving habit.

There are things that are bad but I guess what Tym is trying to point out is that it's more important for people to make the decisions for themselves. A government that functions like an authoritarian parental figure is not teaching it's population to be a thinking democracy.
