It is illegal to be naked in your own house, you cannot do anything in your house.

Any person who appears nude —
(a)in a public place; or
(b)in a private place and is exposed to public view,


Naked in my own house with curtains drawn down, it's not illegal.

If it's illegal even when close all doors & windows, no one can shower in their house.

If it's illegal even when close all doors & windows, there will be no babies born in Singapore.

U think smokers smoke in their house with window closed? They stick their head out of the window or smoke in balcony because they don’t want to stink their house, the second hand smoke drifts to neighbours.

Own home also got people complain… next is no talking or listening to music or watch Tv with volume on at home, no cooking curry, salted fish or belacan at home, no burning of joss stick or mosquito coil at home, no dogs barking or babies crying at home.

best is those smokers want to protect their own family from the smoke. they dun even want to smoke near own window because some will still go into own home. so they step outside and smoke... but not in front of their own home. smoke in front of neighbor home few unit away!

Covid is over but yellow boxes for smokers are no longer exist. :s13:

One might reason that some will follow the old practice but this does not include new settlers who call this place home.

The real reason is the because many workers and low ses people using smoking as a form of de-stressing. So they don't dare to ban smoking.

But its a fire hazard. Alot of those smokers tend are inconsiderate litterbugs, who tend smoke at the window or corridor then throw the cigarette butt out, often which the wind will bring it to those units below. Why is this not a concern.

You burn incense paper 10 times a day on a daily basis sibo? Use your brain leh
Think many just let their own bias cloud the judgement perhaps. Smoking itself is quite a hazard than anything. Doesn't negate it by bringing in other matters. Those smokers one day can smoke many many times.

I think best is ban at public area.
Can only smoke at certain location with no human traffic like..
Chua chu kang cemetery.
Changi coast road.
Tuas south road.
Along any express way

I am ok with smokers smoking at designated smoking points far away from public area, like in Orchard Road.
