China has banned smoking in enclosed public spaces but in a country where the habit is so ingrained in the culture there is little expectation that it will have much effect.
There has been no campaign to publicise the ban, nor is it clear who will enforce it.
A third of the world's smokers live in China, that is 350-million people. The country produces nearly half of the cigarettes on the planet.
More than a million people die in China from tobacco related disease and public health experts believe that could triple by the year 2030.

I agree the evidence makes a strong case for the health risks with smoking, I resent the nanny state telling me what I can and cant do. Banning smoking indoors, yeah, ok fair enough, but I cant even smoke inside my own car in a carpark at work. Thats a pisstake. My health is no bloody business of anyone else, particularly a bunch of thieving lying politicians.Whats next, banning salt from the dinner table? And alchol after that? Our personal freedoms are leaking away drip by drip..

why smoking still exists in this day and age is beyond me. People who smoke aren't free, they are utterly at the mercy of their disorder.
