You have stated on another thread that you are 15 years old. So you don't need to know about cigarettes in Japan or anywhere else for that matter.

Buy the cheapest brand you can get your hands on, since its abroad they'll taste different anyway. Even Marlboro tastes different depending on which country you bought it in.

Or just quit, its alot cheaper (believe me, loving the extra money I have since a couple of months).

If you want to have any chance of quitting don't come to japan.

Uhm. Is it because there are a ton of smokers there?

Cigarettes in japan are really really cheap. (that is, compared to the prices in the US..)
And there are tons of flavours: melon flavoured, vanilla flavoured, strawberry flavoured, cherry flavoured and "black" flavoured cigarettes. And a lot of people smoke menthol cigarettes.

But if you're 15, you won't be sold any. And if you get them in a jidouhanbaiki and the cops make you show your ID, and thus find out you aren't allowed to smoke, you'll be in trouble.

And there are tons of flavours: in a jidouhanbaiki (vending machine) in Kyoto I saw together chocolate flavoured, melon flavoured, vanilla flavoured, strawberry flavoured, cherry flavoured and "black" flavoured cigarettes. And a lot of people smoke menthol cigarettes.

I'll be legal by the time I go to Japan. xD
