Manga 'Cigarette-chan' Personifies Cigarettes: Smoking Becomes Sucking a Cute Girl’s Foot

In an era where everything can be personified, cigarettes, an essential item for smokers, are no exception. Previously, there was a Japanese manga that depicted cigarettes as cute girls, where smoking was akin to kissing a cute girl. Now, a new manga titled "Cigarette-chan" has begun serialization, where smoking has transformed into sucking on a cute girl's foot... This manga might just lead to the birth of more smokers.

"Cigarette-chan" Manga

The male protagonist of "Cigarette-chan" (たば子ちゃん) is a young smoker named Asano, who has been working for three years. One day, while smoking in the company's smoking room, a beautiful girl suddenly appears, who is the personification of a cigarette. She immediately asks Asano why he has been smoking her more frequently lately, but the scene turns into Asano sucking on the cute girl's foot... After that, Asano confides his work troubles to the cigarette girl. Although smoking is harmful to health, the thought of smoking being akin to sucking on a cute girl's foot seems to be an attempt to convert foot fetishists into smokers.

"Cigarette-chan" Manga

Previously, there was another manga called "Cigar Holic" that featured a similar concept, depicting a future world where harmful cigarettes are completely abolished, replaced by harmless humanoid cigarettes in the form of beautiful girls. Smoking no longer involves sucking on a cigarette but rather kissing these humanoid cigarette girls. The male protagonist buys a North Star (a parody of Seven Stars) humanoid cigarette, and when the girl is delivered to his home, he must kiss her to activate her. Lacking experience, he calls customer service to ask for the correct method to kiss the girl, and under the guidance of the customer service girl, he successfully kisses his cigarette girl deeply (taking a big puff), which visually resembles a scene of a passionate kiss between the male and female leads in a borderline manga.
