Well, to be honest, she kind of brought it upon herself. First of all, smoking is not healthy anyways, and I do hope it quites, just for the sake of her health. Second of all, it's not just a H!P rule, but like someone said before, it applies to everyone in Japan. Had she been at some other job, she would have faced the same consequence. But I do hope she's not suspended for too long. W songs are rather growing on me.
With the Mari issue, I do think that was a little overboard. Sure, she knew, but she was over 21 at that point, and she should be able to make her own decisions.
