I`m getting annoyed with people smoking next to me or when I am walking or sitting down somewhere. You can smoke pretty much anywhere in Japan and it`s getting on my nerves. I am an ex-smoker. I don`t mind the smell of cigarette smoke from afar. It recalls memories of good times I have had whilst smoking. When I am close to it such as whilst eating or losing at pachinko it is annoying. The worst is when someone is walking down the road in front of me and lights a cigarette exhaling the initial puff in one large cloud like a smart bomb into my face.

These things have annoyed me lately. The trouble is I can`t remember if they are unique to Japan or worldwide. I assume they are. Aren`t they?
