Broken: Harajuku station sign

Nosmokingh_1 (Just for fun...) Dominick Washburn submits a picture taken in Tokyo, Japan: it appears that smoking giant, human-sized cigarettes isn't allowed in Tokyo's Harajuku station.

It also appears that lefties could be allowed to smoke human-sized cigarettes, as only right-handed smoking of those human-sized cigarettes is explicitly prohibited.

Cafemusique: Lefties are prohibited too, but only with their backs turned to the sign.

Oh come on now. Obviously, it means No Flaming Samurai Swords.

I think it is also hard if you do not know all the kanji used (I do not understand any of the kanji on this sign), the only kana in the sign is "ruuru" (and is the only part of the text that I can understand). They could use furigana for easier. (I still don't know a lot of Japanese words though, but Japanese people can!)

Still, the cigarette in the picture is big, why not use the same No-smoking sign use everywhere else?

I can read Japanese! The sign says "Cigarette holders are pretentious."

You are all silly!

It means "This is not a shooting range!"
