China is often nicknamed as "smoking nation" because of high rate of smokers located in this area. Maybe due to Gods' sign or to organizers of Olympiad, China will lodge the most important event in sport.

China is in active preparation. Along with luxurious hotels, restaurants and recreational areas, China is fighting with one of the most stringent problem: smoking.

Recently, government has banned smoking in a list of public places including government offices and public transport and now they plan to extend ban to schools, campuses and day care centers. It was decided to forbid even designated smoking zones.

"Smoking rooms and zones are banned within teaching regions effective immediately," Health Ministry said. It was added that all teaching and administrative staff are vigorously encouraged to quit.

Even plans of China health department are serious and focused it would be hard to implement in a country named leader in producing and consuming cigarettes per capita. Underage smoking is also a stringent problem for China, as according to a poll of student smokers under the age of 15 showed that 22.4 percent of young smokers were male and 3.9 percent female.

If combine entire population of Russia, Germany and Japan, we will gain the number of smoker in China that is near 350 million. What else can be added? Just "Good luck" and hope till Olympiad Games China will change its reputation and status from the smokiest to the most cleared-up.
