Until 1985, the tobacco industry was a government-run monopoly, and the government of Japan is still involved in tobacco advertising and etiquette campaigns. The Ministry of Finance controls 50.2 percent of Japan Tobacco, the world's third biggest tobacco company, turning over a profit of nearly $3 billion a year. Non-smoking areas are not very common in restaurants, pachinko parlors and public areas, even in fast food or family restaurants. However, all trains either have non-smoking cars or are completely smoke-free, as are many train stations platforms in urban areas.

  • Until 1985, the tobacco industry was a government-run monopoly, and the government of Japan is still involved in tobacco advertising and etiquette campaigns. The Ministry of Finance controls 50.2 percent of Japan Tobacco, the world's third biggest tobacco company, turning over a profit of nearly $3 billion a year. Non-smoking areas are not very common in restaurants, pachinko parlors and public areas, even in fast food or family restaurants. However, all trains either have non-smoking cars or are completely smoke-free, as are many train stations platforms in urban areas. There is uniformity of price—a particular brand of cigarettes in Japan is the same across all vendors, from cigarette machines to big supermarkets to corner shops. In addition, bulk purchases are not discounted. The recent tobacco price increase was on average about one yen per cigarette, or 20 yen for a box. However, some brands went up in price by 30 yen per box. A nationwide Internet survey published by goo Research on the subject of tobacco showed 23.1% of respondents smoke every day.
