My thoughts on China’s ban on indoor smoking…
China has millions of smokers and to ban smoking indoor at public venues as well as, “forbid vending machines from selling cigarettes and ensure that designated outdoor smoking zones not affect pedestrian traffic” (Reuter) is a massive step forward. There is no doubt the link between smoking and even second hand smoke to various cancers, predominantly lung cancer. Though commendable to have such a law, it will also be one of the hardest to enforce. China is not only the world’s largest producer of cigarettes, smoking cigarettes is also deeply ingrained the social (and public) culture of the people. Though it may take years before any change in health can be seen, all small changes matter, as second-hand smoke is equally as lethal as just smoking the cigarette itself.
