The issues that Tobacco faces in Japan are framed by 1) emotional (or idealism) debate and 2) scientific debate. The emotional debate is driven by a fundamental dislike of tobacco (smoke or odor). The scientific debate can be considered in terms of a) medical science (medical care) and b) economical issues. However, the issue of segregating smokers and non-smokers is addressed by The Health Promotion Law enacted in 2003, as well many public facilities have moved to address this issue. It is therefore out of scope of this paper. The conclusions from this paper can be summarized as follows. A Tobacco company is a company. They have a responsibility to ensure their sustainability. It is also necessary to expand both youth smoking prevention activities and initiatives for separating smokers and non-smokers. However, taking a long terms perspective, I believe the radical measures to be necessary.
