She's no Joe Camel. Now that was a smoking man.

The future of vaping is going in a really weird direction.

Well, technically since it's a manga, they're getting smoked "right to left". I'll see myself out... |

Hahaha, this could be illegal in the US since it could be seen as promoting cigarette smoking to minors. (That's why ya don't see cigarette mascots anymore like Joe Camel.)
In Japan, the government itself --specifically the Ministry of Finance-- is the major stockholder of the largest cigarette company Japan Tobacco Inc. |

Same here, because advertising cigarettes directly and indirectly is unequivocally illegal. |

After "Akikan!", nothing much along this line surprises me...

Akikan is the benchmark for surprise? There's been a lot weirder manga/anime product placement and anthropomorphism than this!? I did like Akikan though. I do find the concept of cigs being used seeing how the number of smokers appears to have been declining in Japan over the past decade. |

Interesting... Girls in outfits based around tobacco products...
I have a feeling this sort of idea is destined to go up in smoke. |

That's pretty bad product insertion. I guess their aiming this directly a the adult Otaku's (i hope!)
I remember that Vespa commercial anime they did earlier this year or last. |

I'm kinda surprised at how good the art is (though unoriginal indeed; it looks like a mix between Zetman & that Holy Knight manga).

Y'know I often wonder what goes on through most Japanese fans minds.
Do they really want all this stuff to collect? Well, hell just get some cigarette girly pals. We already got tea pals, under your cup, sitting on your cup, in your cup. |

It could be worse. They could be anthropomorphizing ships from the Imperial Japanese Navy of WW II... oh, wait.
