No Smoking!

There was a fantastic anti-smoking campaign in Hokkaido, so I thought I'd share some of the adverts with you. Sorry some of them are a bit blurry, I was on a tube train at the time.

My personal favourite is the one about personal ashtrays - a uniquely Japanese invention. Littering is a massive no-no in Japan, but on the other hand, public litter bins are an incredibly rare sight. The solution? The personal ashtray - a handy pen-sized cigarette butt receptacle that you can seal up and take with you anywhere.
