Finally… A Good Reason to Quit Smoking

If you have ever spent some time in Japan, you have had to deal with smokers.

In a part of the world where it’s the non-smokers who seem out of place, Japan has finally provided at least one good reason to quit smoking.

Of course the sex appeal should also be of no shock to anyone having spent time in Harajuku, and other areas in the heart of Tokyo.

Here are a few more posters and signs that should help you put your cigarettes out… even if just long enough to get a good laugh.

    I have too just recently quit so I’m finding these especially interesting.

    I’m thinking of making a print of the Fish that wants you to quit smoking.

    That's crazy. You are lucky. The US/UK are putting more and more taxes on cigarettes.

    These signs are really funny!

    Yea, they have some wild game-shows, man. I love them. I love that one that was redone MXC where the announcers talk over the video. That is hilarious.

    "Like all trends, not everyone can pull it off quite the same." …. I don't think anyone can pull these off. These are absolutely hideous!! They might as well not even wear pants. I was recently in japan for an adjustable beds show and did not see any people dressed like this so i dont think the trend is taking off….
