 ::Oh, I of course would accept the information being in the article if it's reliably sourced (and it would have to be a current source, not one from the 1970s), though it probably doesn't belong in the lead. I also live in Japan, and while I disagree with KC9TV that women in Japan don't smoke (and the statistics support that they do, though at only half to a third the rate of men), I also disagree with Kintetsubuffalo, because I've never once seen anyone, male or female, use a cigarette holder here. Of course, my opinion and observations aren't particularly relevant, but since it's a pretty extraordinary claim, we'll need a pretty good reference to verify it. Moonriddengirl, since it seems like the only objector to removal has acquiesed until RS become available, would you be wiling to remove the info? Now that I think about it, some might argue that I'm WP:INVOLVED.
