Japan Tobacco’s Mild…Impact…

As I walk by tiny tobacconist shop at my train station everyday, I marvel at this “Mild Seven–Impact Menthol” poster.
Sometimes you gotta wonder what JT—the quazi-governmental Japan Tobacco Inc.—is smoking?

Finally just yesterday, I realized what the smorking poster reminded me of…

To quote Japan Tobacco’s breathless advertising copy, Mild Seven Impact Menthol has a, “strong and clear menthol sensation combined with impactful* smoking experience” that “expresses the product's dynamism and strong, clear menthol sensation.” Yeah, ri-i-ight.

   At least there is some good news…

   …The number of cigarettes sold in Japan in fiscal 2011 dropped 6 percent from the previous year to 197.5 billion, dropping below 200 billion for the first time since statistics were first kept in 1990…
