This is a designated smoking area. However, please refrain from smoking outside the premises, as this is the route children take to and from the daycare center, making it extremely dangerous and disruptive. There is no other crosswalk in the vicinity, so people have no choice but to walk here. The local government should issue a warning.

This area has lots of daycare centers, yet it reeks of cigarettes and it's unpleasant. How long are we going to stay stuck in the Showa era?

This is the route to and from the daycare center, so it's very dangerous and a nuisance. This is the only crosswalk nearby, so we have no choice but to pass through here. The government should step in and give guidance.

I got handed different cigarettes from the ones I asked for.. The guy had a scary vibe too, so it didn't feel like I could say no. Well, I can smoke something a little different, so it's fine, but..

Secondhand smoke from smokers is a huge nuisance to pedestrians. When you stop at the crosswalk signal, it really stinks, it's smoky, and it's poison for your body. Nakano Ward should issue guidance as soon as possible.
