Recently, the Japanese government tightens the use of tobacco and banned smoking in indoors to prevent passive smoking. Moreover, many local governments have also banned smoking on the streets, and fines and other penalties have been introduced for cigarette litter and smoking while walking. In fact, adult smoking rates in Japan have been decreasing since 1995 and about 16% of people (male 25.6%, female 6.9%) smoke as of 2023. This rate declined by half compared to that of 1993, and we can analyze that the government’s action worked effectively towards smoking. The smoking rate in younger age groups from the age of 20 to 29 is declining and reveal that young people are less likely to smoke. As the main reasons, the legal development and the restriction towards tobacco advertising and the spread of awareness of the health risks of tobacco through school education can be considered. The tobacco taxes are 62% per box and the price of tobacco itself keeps going up every year. From my perspective, high cigarette prices motivate smokers to quit for economic reasons. Moreover, I think Japanese personality traits contribute to the decline in the smoking rates. Because of the adoption ability with surrounding environment and peer pressure, it is getting harder for people to smoke without paying attention to others who worry about health risks of smoking. This is interesting because Japanese personality traits which are sometimes criticized could work for promoting health and well-being.industry was managed by the government and people could purchase cheap cigarettes easily as the historical background.
