    showing actual tobacco brand is a clear violation of the act. I think the anime will be restored with the brand masked soon.

    Honestly, I have to agree with that. Cigarettes are gross. Tobacco is gross. And watching an episode of this made me feel gross.

    Not that removing it will stop most people from watching it lol, but it is a message: “Cigarettes are bad, m’kay?”

      I only saw a couple episodes, but it seems that making you feel gross is the point…

      I’ve seen a lot of media that glorifies smoking, but little that makes cigarettes look as disgusting as chainsmoker cat.

      For that reason, I kinda feel like banning it on the basis that it encourages smoking is misguided.

        Perhaps it’s less about whether it encourages smoking and more about whether it runs afoul of laws concerning the depiction of real-life cigarette brands on TV. I don’t know Taiwanese advertising law though!

        as someone who smoked for years watching this hit close to home and made me not want to smoke. The first few episodes were like “yeah I’ve done that”. smoking butts, finding a “long one” and being thrilled about it. being broke and trying to make a pack last until next pay day only to smoke them all in a day. smoking one that had a bit of “slime” on it. It’s pathetic and indeed gross and i think that’s the whole point of the show. you can’t watch that and idolize the characters, they’re gross.

        No you see, we, adults, have to conform art to snoons’s sensibilities. If the Anti Press Authoritarian says it’s gross, then even 三國演義 needs to go, accordingly to Taiwanese law!
        We wouldn’t want gross things now, would we?
        There’s no tobacco in Taiwan

        Fair. I suppose the episode I seen was more blase about it, like it was just normal for all the characters in the show to smoke which isn’t good, but could be worse.

        People who encourage harmful behaviors shouldn’t be platformed.

    Will they remove Smoking Behind The Supermarket with You?

    I’ve watched a few episodes and I felt the series lacks substance (pun intended)
