From this Oct. 1st, tabaco price went up because the Government raised tax on it. In Japan, retail price of tabaco is restricted and it should be the same price nation wide.
It used to cost JPY320-/pack. Now it costs JPY420-/pack. It could be a huge burden for smokers.
Accroding to the JT's (Japan Tabaco: dominant tabaco production company) 2009survery, the smokers ratio of the man was 38.9%, while it used to be 83.7% in 1966. This is significant decrease.
Meanwhile, the smokers ratio of women is flatten since 1966, which is 11.6%.
The number of the smokers is expected to decrease with this significant rise of the price. (Now various kind of support kits to quit smoking are well-sold. )
