Okay... that makes two people to find my post ever-so-hilarious. I just don't get it. Of all the things to find rip-roaringly funny on the Digital Press, that sure ain't one of them. If I'm wrong about something, a simple "Actually, blah-blah-blah and here's a link" would suffice. You guys act like I said "The sky is pink" or something.Originally Posted by Solertia
Clearly this stereotype that you guys believe is so pervasive to the point of being common knowledge isn't. Far more people in this topic have stated that out of tons of imports they've never gotten anything that smells of smoke.
I already explained my comment further in a previous post, but again: I was never saying that people in Japan don't smoke. I was never saying that there aren't individuals that smoke heavily. What I WAS saying is that there isn't a WIDELY KNOWN stereotype of the Japanese being crazy about smoking, like there is for much of Europe, especially France. Maybe among some people, this stereotype is held for Japan, I don't know, but it clearly hasn't gone mainstream.
