Raise legal smoking age to 21 to deter NSFs: Organisation Non-profit group wants stricter limit to stop habit from forming during NS Published on Jun 01, 2013  According to the 2010 National Health Survey, 16.3 per cent of Singaporeans aged 18 to 29 smoke. The push to raise the legal smoking age stems from the belief that young men pick up the habit during NS. -- ST PHOTO: CHEW SENG KIM By Royston Sim Raise the legal age for smoking from 18 to 21 to deter young men from lighting up during national service - that is the proposal a non-profit organisation submitted to government agencies early last month. Sata CommHealth chief executive K. Thomas Abraham noted that it was common for young people to pick up smoking during NS, sometimes due to peer pressure. He said: 'If we push the legal age up to 21, most people would have finished their NS by then.' He also observed that more young women had started smoking, without providing figures. According to the 2010 National Health Survey, the proportion of smokers among young Singaporeans aged 18 to 29 stood at 16.3 per cent in 2010 - a 33 per cent increase from 12.3 in 2004.
