Well JR Kyushu will ban smoking (for the most part, on the trains that count anyway )by the middle of this month. Many posters at my local station so it must be true. The local health centre has also finally booted out the smokers too ! The old farmers don't look too happy sitting outside puffing away. My new job at the newspaper, (see guys I made it to taking one foot out of inaka, just need a push for the other)they are smoking down at the end of the hall. I try to hold my breath as I walk by.........

BTW, where is Laplap?
