It's banned in Singapore... of course, so also is talking bad about the government, and there's a film censor board to make sure the public doesn't see anything the government doesn't think they should. And graffiti is not only banned but will get you caned (struck repeatedly with a cane).
On the plus side, Singapore is about the cleanest and most crime-free city/country in the world... and, to be fair, they're only classified as "partly free" by "Freedom In The World". So -- should it be banned? Depends on how free of a society you want to live in.

Hong Kong is ranked comparably to Singapore, as "partly free".
Pretty sure my town once had a spitting ordinance.
Remember learning about it on a field trip that I valves a walk around town and a trip to the local museum.
Didn't read the article or anything, the thread just sparked a random thought.

When I was a kid my parents told me this is illegal in Texas due to a law still existing from the days of poor barefoot Depression children contracting horrible diseases from the sidewalk. Have no idea if that's true or not.
I'm fine....
Are you sure? you know you have that terrible "Want More Guns" disease.........JS

Very poor manners, according to my Mom. She would probably slap me silly if she caught me expectorating in public.
Also, underwear is called that for a reason; foundation garments should never be seen in polite company.
The phrase "leaves nothing to the imagination" is not meant as a compliment.

Spit is more unsanitary. I've seen homeless people do worse than both.

That's actually the origin of those outlandishly large hats that the French used to wear (as in The Three Musketeers). When you're walking down the street and someone dumps a chamber pot on you from above, well, you want a BIG hat...
I spit occasionally - try not to do it in the presence of people I don't know or those who I know but don't like to see it.
To use the public health argument is just absolutely ridiculous, but then again, the trend is to justify everything you want to stop people from doing by calling it a public health or safety threat.
