In Singapore, importing tobacco is illegal full stop (no duty-free or duty-paid allowance) and all legal locally sold tobacco is stamped "SDPC" (Singapore Duty-Paid Cigarette). If you're caught by police with an unstamped cigarette, the first offence fine is $500.

Singapore also hangs first-time drugs offenders, as I recall. I don't know that I'd suggest emulating their laws with respect to a substance.
