Japan Tobacco, which sells nearly two-thirds of Japan's cigarette products, will invite 150 lucky smokers who won a lottery to a private showing of the film-noir thriller "Sin City" next Monday. Anyone over 20 years old could apply, but there was one condition attached - they had to pledge that they smoke. "The event is to provide a rare opportunity for smokers to light up freely while watching the movie, so they can enjoy the film without suppressing their urge to smoke," Miyashita said. Though Japan's smoking rate remains one of the highest in the developed world, smoking has been banned in movie theaters, train stations and other public facilities.  [AP]
