Interesting! I've heard before that the Orient is obsessed with cigarettes. Have a few friends doing TESOL in Japan and such.
Funny you mention it. I just quit smoking myself (as you may have noted on my blog). I'm wearing a patch, otherwise I'd proabably be irked by any mention of cigarettes and crave.
Thanks for the comment. I will add you to my subscriptions.]

More proof the fight to rid the world of communism should NEVER end.
