BEIJING is working on making all public spaces – including work sites and transportation options – tobacco-free by the end of 2015, the Health Bureau revealed.
The bureau is also aiming to reduce the smoking rate among women in the capital from 4.6 to 4 per cent during the next five years.
Specifics from the plan have not yet been released.
And the results of a survey were also made public last week indicating that more than 95 per cent of 2,100 interviewees in the capital knew that smoking might cause lung cancer.
The survey, which drew responses from people aged from 10 to 89, also showed that almost 60 per cent of respondents knew that smoking could lead to apoplexy, a higher proportion than the 16 per cent who knew nationwide.
More than half of people polled planned to give up smoking. The rate nationwide is just 27 per cent.
