Japan’s forthcoming hosting of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics has presented an opportunity to raise public awareness and strengthen laws to protect the public from secondhand smoke (SHS), due in part to the International Olympic Committee’s tobacco-free policy. As a result of tobacco industry interference, SHS protection in Japan is weak by international standards, so there has also been concern about the possible reaction of international visitors.
