Smoking in Public Beijing’s Top Bad Habit – Xinhua

Translated by CDT from Xinhua:

A recent survey of 180,000 netizens has found that Beijingers hate smoking in public spaces the most. And it pollutes the city’s air. Second and third most disliked bad habits are, respectively, aggressive driving and extravagant home-redecoration pollution.

This is part of the clean air industries association’s campaign to “create clean air and welcome guests to the Olympics.”

With 4 million smokers in Beijing, the city is striving to promote the concept of “smoking-free Olympics.” By the time of the Games, smoking will be forbidden in Olympics events, inside taxis and tourist restaurants, etc. [Full Text in Chinese]
