It seems nice, but as an ex-smoker the romantic portrayal of smoking kinda puts a bad taste in my mouth.

I don't like smoking but I kinda understand their feeling for smoke( because all my friend are smoker)

As an ex-smoker, I also understand it, and that's why it makes me nauseated. Like, feelings of nostalgia and comfort associated with something that'll both significantly shorten your expected lifespan and make your life a lot worse in almost every way somehow makes it even more disgusting to me.

I've been having the fact that smoking destroys your lungs pushed hard at me since I was a little kid in the 1980s.
Heck, my father died of cancer because of a lifetime of smoking.
PLUS it is gross. It smells all sorts of nasty.
Yet people still smoke.

Why?
Weren't they also subject to the same messages?

Can't they choose some alternative method of killing themselves with faster results and less impact on others? Especially in Japan where not interfering with others' lives is a far bigger deal than in other places.

That's the one main reason I didn't want to read this manga sooner. My mother also died of lung cancer too and she also was a smoker. It's a shame the mangaka wants to use smoking as a tool for its story.

Oh well, not much I can do about it.
