Unusual. I wonder how it is in Europe. Wow, so Tokyo is even more harsh than California on smokers. Unusual. I wonder how it is in Europe.

Usually, they sport ads by Japan Tobacco. I believe it’s illegal to smoke on the streets in Tokyo, or at least many areas in Tokyo, so these designated smoking spots are popping up everywhere.

Enlighten me. p.s. love the blog, it's a favorite read of mine. Casey - Los Angeles.

[but my whole dept was underground] anyways. something about the "smoking booth" just seems way cooler. it also has the funny side effect of making smoking a solitary act, verse a social act. smoking is so not as fun by yourself as it is with other people. the smoking lounge was/is gross.. we had one in the college i attendend.. though it was just a room. and underground.
