Best Answer

The official Chewing Gum ban became active in 1992 with the acceptance of the Control of Manufacture Act (Singapore Statute Chapter 57) that restricted the use, distribution and trade of all kinds of chewing gums.

The basis for this action was that the government thought it was an unwarranted expense to clean it from public places.

In 2004, international pressure from United States brought the change in the law that reinstated the legal use of some small amounts of therapeutic dental chewing gums. Their use is heavily regulated and gum has to be purchased directly from a dentist or doctor.
