I have seen many Japanese sensei and sampai smoke between or after practice..

Recalling the days helping out at the 12th WKC in Glasgow... LOADS of kendo people around the world smoke, not just the Japanese. You can't believe the amount of people standing outside the entrance of Kelvin Hall any given minute!! Miyasaki Masahiro is a well-known chain-smoker, for example.

Different people do different things to harm themselves every day. Some people smoke. Some do alcohol. Some do drugs. Some fancy McDonalds. Some let other people hit them with bamboo sticks. I personally enjoy running across the traffic when the red man is on. Oh well, it's easier to die that way than smoking!

Just that I don't like the smell of cigarettes. But people have their freedom. Just as they have the freedom to choose not to wear undies under their hakama...
