This is so cool & yet strangely disturbing. By anthropomorphizing (applying human characteristics to) cigarettes the smoker develops compassion for them and stops smoking?
The plot: Meet, Love, The End: I’m reminded of a Victorian melodrama.

no prob! i’m always surprised what i find on the streets of japan… and this is much more surprising then bad engrish! Smoking still holds such a strong hold over people here. 99.99% of Japanese men I have met are chain smokers. Over nearly a year and a half, I have met only one serious non-smoker and he was considered an oddity. However just in the time I’ve been here I’ve seen a big difference: 2 of my schools have banned smoking on school property, and there will soon me legislation in Tokyo to stop smoking inside of buildings. It’s exciting to see progress from the inside!

Thanks for this type of quite smoking awareness campaign although I have never been addicted to tobacco, but I know how it’s dangerous and how it can effect to ones’ body. Those who want to quite smoking they can use comchantix, I think it’s a good one.
