Why is gum banned in Singapore?

There are certain limitations regarding gum in Singapore. Many people have heard about this issue. First, it should not come as a surprise that people get upset with gum chewers. People often spit their gum out and don’t care where it lands. Then it becomes a nuisance for people who step on it without realizing it.

Also, Singapore is known for being a country that takes pride in being clean and healthy. Therefore, the ban on gum in this country should not be surprising. However, this does not mean that you can’t have gum. It merely means that you can’t sell it. It seems that it would be more difficult to get if they put limitations on selling gum and not owning it.
