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...

Have you looked closely at the warning on cigarette packets? Japanese warnings appear to be very similar to the US, but as usual 表と内容は違う。The Japanese one says "lets try not to smoke too much"
