How To Make Surfboard Racks

I giapponesi e il fumo

In Japan, the street can not be 'smoking. On the sidewalks, on the platforms of the trains and subways, smoking is prohibited in public areas. Signs or other very austere enough fun and funny (like this one right) , inform that it is absolutely forbidden to smoke . if one just wants to light a cigarette smoking area must seek : small "islands" equipped with ashtrays, where people can smoke.
Bello .. yes .. but the funny thing is that instead in restaurants and you can 'smoke .


what is the logic? as the Japanese do not they never do things by chance I've thought and thought. and I realized that the Japanese prohibit smoking on the street not for health reasons, but for hygiene (to prevent people throw butts on the ground, across Tokyo, I have not seen even one!).
fact in enclosed spaces you can 'smoke because they are convenient ashtray.
Funny, eh?
ah there are also smoking carriages on trains. I remember a trip to Shirahama - Tokyo in 3 hours in the car smoking (because there was no room) .. sob ..
