Strict rules against smoking in China
Almost third of the Chinese population are smokers. Now the Chinese government starts to fight against smoking with stricter than ever measures as well as with the increase of the tax on tobacco products.
In April the Chinese government increased the tax on tobacco from 5 to 11 percent. Also traders have to pay 0,005 yuan (2 HUF) into the budget after all sold cigarettes.
Earlier the parliament banned tobacco advertisings from the media, community squares, public transportation and outdoor posters.
A future draft would put an end to indoor smoking and would limit t outdoor smoking as well and would entirely ban cigarette advertisings. (MTI)
