We're talking about the US here, right?
Yeah, Japan still is like a giant ashtray last time I checked.
It isn’t anymore. I checked yesterday. They still have cigarette vending machines and smoking floors in hotels, but most floors were nonsmoking, beer vending machines were more plentiful than cigarette ones, and no smoking announcements and signs were everywhere
Glad to know things are changing. In the late aughts my experience was a lot of closet sized bars where people hotboxed everyone in there (or whatever the tobacco equivalent is).
The laws changed prior to the olympics coming, so it's not like it was pre-corona and pre-olympics. Even some places that didn't legally have to change used corona as an excuse because of the recommendations of the government (not law). Still a lot of places with smoking.
I am talking about where I grew up in Canada.
