Bad Smoker!

What kind of smoker are you?
Going for a cheap shot with the funny English post.
This poster was apparently designed by a college kid in Kyoto. There were a few of similar ones on display in Namba. “Are you a good smoker, or BITCH smoker? Depends on you.” It taunts. I don’t smoke so hah. Seems Japan is starting to ganbaru a bit with the anti-smoking campaigns.
Seriously though, smoking is annoying in Japan. Too many smokers, not enough space. I must have tripled my daily intake of second hand smoke since I moved here.
Normally I prefer to duck into locally run coffee shops when I need a place to get caffine, and study. But the large number of smokers usually has me running to the corporate comfort of Starbucks or Tully’s Coffee.
Too bad…
I do recall once seeing a big list of non-smoking establishments in Tokyo…
