This is bad bad news. http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/atmoney/news/20110325-OYT1T00643.htm?from=main5
Much as I deplore the recent hoarding, I'm off to empty the local cig machine forthwith!

I thought they were only stopping the less profitable brands until tobacco production is resumed?

This will be interesting!!

Ive got some smoker friends who will probably panic and freak out at this news.

Ill just stand back and laugh as they go thru withdrawal

Focus mostly on the "stand back" part if you want to live to tell aboot it...

Been a while since I smoked... but...

Couldn't one just change up the brand? I mean, it's only two weeks, surely addiction isn't that painfully neurotic, right?

It's like masturbating.
Can't just change images willy-nilly.
You'd never get any work done.

Laughing at a smoking going through withdrawals....you have a death wish. Laughing at junkies jonesing for a spoon to cook is safe, as junkies are so wrecked from an improper diet to really let out their rage, especially on a normie. No cigs...and if alky was also curtailed, there would be true revolution in Japan within 24 hours.

Funny you should say that.

(The article says that some shops are running low on beer. It appears the government asked distributors of "luxuries" to hold down deliveries to give priority to daily necessities)

Smoking in Japan is fucking horrible. Stop smoking. You seem to have everything else under control.

Cranky, I just picked up a couple packs at my local conbini and asked if my favorate brand will be available. They told me that all brands they carry for regular sales will continue as usual. Think I'll go have a wank, practice makes perfect.....

I had the same conversation with my shoutengai cigarette vendor older than the Big Bang buddy. Asked if he was worried about the impending cig shortage, and he slid open the wall behind him.....man it was beautiful. The holy land hath been discovered. Cases, stacked on cases, stacked on cases. "Lemme know if there are actual shortages, I gotta find a way to move this shit. Wife's still pissed at me, I ordered way too much."...(very loosely translated). Nevertheless, bought a carton. I figure that the lung cancer can claim dibs on me, and the radiation will have to leave in a huff.
