The word 'anime' (アニメ) is a Japanese shortening of the English word 'animation', a gairaigo, or foreign loanword.
The main focus of the story is Asano, an employee who just can’t quit smoking, and Tabako-chan, who is the anthropomorphized smoke of a cigarette and whose clothes start to dissolve the closer you get to finishing your cigarette. She clings to your clothes like the smell of cold smoke. Aside from Tabako-chan, there is also the menthol cigarette character Menko-chan, and the Golden Bat, born in 1906, who are all anthropomorphized cigarettes that have turned into beautiful girls.
