    • They certainly both sustained me for a while, although I ditched the former a good few years ago.

  2. Japan cracking down so hard on drugs while the Japanese government has the monopoly on tobacco and pushing nicotine addictions always makes me smile.Still, I would buy the beer so I cannot say anything. :-)

    • Yeah, the hypocrisy is staggering. It really is no wonder that smoking is far more accepted in Japan.

    Most of Japanese love beer and cigarettes! They always smoke and drink their beer before having their meal and after meal.
    Standing between the Poster/message and the Cigarettes vending machine, the man really chose a nice place to drink his beer. :) Interesting !!
