In the Singapore government's further efforts to engineer a smoke-free nation, their new social experiment involves caging up smokers through designated smoking points across the Nee Soon district, like it's one giant airport.
Dystopian scenario it may sound like, but it's true — there are now 42 designated smoking points near coffee shops and HDB blocks across the Nee Soon South estate. Really, they're just tiny, sad-looking shacks that measure 3m by 3m, with provided ashtrays, dustbins and uncomfortable benches. At least they come with roofs.
