China doesn't pull punches
when it comes to their
antismoking programs.
Their scare tactics are
designed to drive the point
home...deep into a smoker's
lungs and mind.
A television station showed
how gruesome lung cancer
really is. These videos
reinforce the government's
new stance that will forever
change how smoking in
China is viewed. It is
expected that they will
continue to be pretty blunt
about it until the rate
plummets. Article out of

These videos aren't
particulary pleasant.
DailyMail.co.uk: Chinese TV releases gruesome video of smoke damaged lungs
China announced a ban
on indoor smoking
beginning June 1, 2015.
I'm assuming that, since
a million Chinese die of
smoking related diseases
every year, Beijing is
trying to stem that tide.
China is kind of following
the blueprint of Russia's
recent anti-smoking policies.
Sounds like China is
beginning to take its air
pollution problem seriously.

of Wuhan has booted smoking from
the cafes in an effort to clear the
historically horrible air. Who knew
that places like China and Russia would
assume such progressive antismoking stances...?
