I would've loved to live in Tokyo or Kyoto, that was, until I visited. If only people didn't smoke so god damn much. Seriously, even in most stores or restaurants they allow smoking, it's as if they've never heard of lung cancer. Other than that, Tokyo is real nice, and hopefully I'll become more tolerant of cigarette smoke because the city reminds me so much of NYC, only cleaner.
Well, in Japan and China Smoking means respecting your elders.
But sadly in China, You can smoke at any age there.
But in HK, if you smoke in the metro's or restataunts you get a 1,500$HK (that's 190 USD) fine.
LOL. You should see the number of fines in Singapore.
Smoking in public places (that are not the designated smoking areas) = Fine
Littering = Fine
Eating or drinking in the train station = Fine
Bringing durians into the train station = Fine
And many more. We actually are prett strict about law. Fining all these smaller things (though they are still wrong). And for more major things like smuggling drugs (weight limit of course) and kidnapping can result in death sentence.
