Cigarette advertising around the world used to be more prominent. In Japan, cigarettes had an interesting tie-up with JR for Shinkansens and travel around Japan.

    Those packs have some decent artwork on them. Must have been nice to carry around a little piece of art in your pocket. And I am with puffdragon01; less restrictions indeed!

    It is nice to see the artwork used, though can understand why they have removed it from cigarette packs recently. :)
