▼ Various efforts are being made to create smoking areas at events from the viewpoint of measures to prevent passive smoking; at Yoyogi Park for the 88th Central May Day held on April 29, instead of just placing stand ashtrays as in previous years, the area was covered with a white tent like the one in the image.

However, due to the large number of people, there were some who smoked outside the tent, and two or three Coalition staff members were always present, repeatedly reminding people to smoke inside the tent and to leave the tent promptly when they were finished. It was not an atmosphere where one could smoke in peace.
