China's health ministry will renew its push to end smoking in public places with new regulations due to come into force today (1st May). These will outlaw smoking in places like bars, restaurants and buses, but not workplaces.
More than one in three people smoking a cigarette in the world right now is lighting up in China.
The country's authorities believe smoking kills more than one million people every year and that figure is predicted to triple by 2030.
