Tokyo's latest visitor attraction

Is the Mobile Ashtray Museum, or MAM. As ever, I am not making this up. Details here.

A bit of digging suggests that 'museum' is a bit of a misnomer, as it appears to be little more than a way for Japan Tobacco to promote and sell personal ashtrays for ambulant smokers. It turns out that some 69% of Japanese smokers possess a portable ashtray. I wonder if they will catch on here before smoking gets completely banned.....
