Vlogger Nuseir Yassin, a.k.a. Nas Daily, has a new video out about Singapore.

Again.

It is about how he really loves the upcoming ban on smoking in Orchard Road.

So much so that on Dec. 2, he uploaded his episode 966 video that is nearly one-and-a-half minutes long, focused entirely on the smoking ban which is due to come into force on Jan. 1, 2019.

Banning smoking "inside and outside"

Nas presents the video in his usual style: Saying something that lasts two-and-a-half sentences in more than one minute.

Nas called the designated smoking areas in Orchard "tiny, tiny boxes" and said that the ban is "amazing" as smoking is harmful to both the smoker and other non-smoking people.

Nas then concluded by expressing his wish for the ban to go global, calling it "terrible news for smokers" but "great news" for "the rest of us”.

Most reactions to the video support the ban

Reactions to the video were mostly positive with many responses coming out in support of the ban and agreeing that it should be applied in more countries.

Of course, there were still a handful who questioned the effectiveness of the ban and what it was meant to achieve.
