It should have been trillion yen. Sorry for the confusion.

I implore you to critically engage with what propaganda is.

This is a photo taken in a smoking room in a Japanese bar. The top left says 'Do you know the ways tobacco taxes are used?' bottom right 'tobacco raises 2billion yen (~$20b) it is used by the government to enrich the lives of the people.' underneath that is the logo and name of the national tobacco association.

N.b: I have paraphrased theranslation to make it fit better.
