In a very ironic twist, people are trying to pass off cigarettes as chocolate biscuit sticks.

The irony was not lost on The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

ICA posted about it on its Facebook page.

"Remember when we used to eat these snacks and pretend they were cigarettes?"

"ICA officers at Changi Airfreight Centre discovered that some people play the game in reverse — concealing duty-unpaid cigarettes in snack boxes, hoping to avoid detection."

Oh no.
