Is smoking in Japan illegal?

No. nearly 30 million people smoke in Japan, making the country one of the world's larger tobacco markets . Also, the government's Ministry of Finance owns roughly one third of the stock of the country's tobacco manufacturers. Finally, many members of the 'Diet of Japan' ... the country's parliament ... have investments in the tobacco industry, so there are very few laws that regulate the use of tobacco.

Smoking in Japan is not illegal and is widely practiced, with around 30 million smokers in the country. The Japanese government has significant investments in the tobacco industry, which influences the lack of strict regulations. Some cities are beginning to impose smoking restrictions to protect non-smokers.
