Sorry for the double reply but just re-read your spoiler. Be warned about Japan. Not smoking is extremely hard despite you not being allowed to smoke in public. 20%+ of the population smoke.
The cigarettes are $6 for 20 Marlboro Red and you can smoke indoors whilst eating food in some places. The novelty of it means you will almost certainly smoke. I did as I couldn't resist. Excessively. Last year. And I quit about 6 years ago. If you've recently quit it will be even harder for you. You will almost certainly smoke there. Even my non smoking partner smoked.
Interesting. It's more the flight over I'm worried about. ๐
Yeah sorry, even the packets are branded like they used to be and so so cheap. I've even kept a packet in my memory box because of the novelty. I hope you both have more willpower than I do.
Also, I'm utterly terrified of flying but that was actually a nice flight, I'd expect yours to be the same! โค๏ธ
Hopefully by then I can smoke, drink and karaoke and leave one of them behind. โค๏ธ
Will you miss singing?
The singing and the drinking will come back with me. I'll leave the smoking there If I do.
Yeah haha, I was just joking as you laid that one on a plate for me :D Again, good luck to you, you've definitely got this. I can promise that the moment your lungs feel normal again will be utterly amazing.
Also hope you have fun in Japan! It's a beautiful country and I can't wait to go back.
