McDonald in Japan is the largest restaurant chain in the country, around 3,500 stores. The goverment has annuounced that will phase out the smoking areas. For local residents of Tokyo the annoyance of unclearly marked smoking zones in many cafes and resturants, or non-smorking areas seperated only by demarkations on the floor, it will come as a welcome relief. Non-smoking areas have become increasingly common in Tokyo in recent years, with bans on streets around many train stations and an increasing number of smoking only areas popping up around the city. A report yesterday by Medical News said that Japan has in fact set a world record of 15 consecutive years of a percentage of the population considering themselves to be smikers. Japan Tobaco reports that in 1966 when records began, 49.4 percent of the population were smokers, while today is 23.9 percent.
