Little hope of Chinese smoking ban success
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.
