The battle for kin'en continues...

We were at a coffee shop at a gas station, sitting in the smoking section, not that that means anything in Japan - there might be two tables right next to each other and one will be smoking, the other non-smoking. Anyway, the section we were in was definitely a smoking section, but it also had the one long couch type seat instead of stand-alone chairs, so when this couple came in with their sleeping grandson, maybe 2 years old, they came to lay him down on the couch area. I told my mom she shouldn't smoke since there was that baby and everything. And she says, "They're probably sitting over here because he smokes."

She was talking about the grandpa in case you thought the same thing I did initially. And she was right. Sigh. This country.

P.S. Kin'en means no smoking
