These posters were up for a while a few weeks ago, but have now disappeared. I think JR might be worried about complaints and so have decided not to highlight the issue too much.

The non-smoking change is slowly being seen in restaurants and other public places as well.

Here is one of the posters in the train.

    i like the look of the poster - just for the look of the jr line.

    Yes, good poster. I took this in a hurry as I was going to meet someone, then realised it wasn't a good photo. I went to retake it the next day and the posters were all gone. Luck I didn't delete the first one.

    Is this a JR April Fool?

    They have been planning it for a while. Definately no April Fools here
