Are you angry when others smoke in a restaurant or shopping mall? You don't have to worry about it anymore. People can't smoke in public indoor places in China now.
Smoking is a bad habit. Smokers are more likely to get lung cancer（肺癌） and heart disease. Besides, if you smoke a lot, your teeth and fingers may turn an ugly yellow.
Smoking is also harmful to non-smokers because they can get sick from breathing in second-hand smoke. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2008, second-hand smoke causes about 600,000 deaths every year.
According to WHO, two million people die because of smoking every year. So it is very important to ban(禁止）smoking. On January 1, 2007, smoking in most public places in Hong Kong, China became illegal(非法的). The UK also introduced the ban in 2007.
Different countries have different ways of helping people to stop smoking. In Thailand（泰国）, scary（恐怖的） signs come on the cigarette packs, such as pictures of black lungs of a smoking skull(骷髅）. People might change their minds about smoking when they see this.
