How bizarre. The guy heading the group, which is pushing for cigarettes to go up to 1,000 yen a pack, smokes two or three packs a day himself! He must have money to burn!

Dammit, I hate it when they so shit like this! Although I really do not think 1,000 yen for a pack of smokes will ever happen. The Japanese love their smokes too much to stand for such a high tax.

It's the old "rejection and retreat" strategy. First they propose 1,000 yen, but really they want 500 yen. They know that 1,000 yen will be rejected, so they can retreat to the "much cheaper" 500 yen mark. If they were to propose 500 yen straight away, it would look expensive and get rejected, but compared to 1,000 yen, it will almost certainly be passed. That's what I think, anyway.

One of the reasons I like living in Tokyo is because you can have a smoke just about any place you want to not get messed with about it. Also, the price of smokes is cheap.
