The Marlboro "One" was on every vending machine that I saw in Japan

Whenever I travel internationally, I look at how cigarettes are advertised. On a recent trip to Japan, the Marlboro "One" menthol cigarette was featured on every vending machine that I came across during my brief stay. Cigarettes were about $3.00 a pack and the minimum age to buy was 20. A special card was needed to purchase out of a vending machine to prevent underage purchases.

One of the commercials that I viewed on the television was for "Cafe Tobacco," a smoking haven. The owner said that patrons are only in the cafe for 20 minutes and therefore, could not become addicted to cigarettes.
