Nearly a third of Japanese men smoke, and they have (had until very recently?) some of the loosest smoking regulations, basically allowing anyone to smoke anywhere they want. Cigarette vending machines are common too. Though their legal age to smoke is 20.

Yet somehow they're not all dead or dying of lung cancer, and instead have a sky-high life expectancy.

One possible explanation is that the life-expectancy figures are made up, just like any other figures for any other Asian nation.
