Q: Will Smoking in China ever let up?

I was wondering a lot about this. Im not sure if its a thing all across the country but i notice that older hard types love to smoke ( not limited to any geographical area) and people in the south in general do too. Is smoking popular here?  Why is smoking popular here and will there be any initiatives aimed at lessening its appeal to younger age groups? You'd imagine there will be.  Anyway the business half of in me is curious cause something will need to fill that void.

Fill the void? This looks more and more like healthy 'void':

Predictions are that Scandinavia will be smoke free in not many years. China is at least 50-100 years behind in normal development, so yeah, it will be, just wait 100+ years.

I caught the trainer having a smoke in the gym that i go to,you could smell the smoke going into the weight room when lifting weights.

they dont give a shit about anyones health.

Smoking, it's doing what to my Qi, my Yin and Yang level ? No why. I like smoking, therefore I smoke when I want to, the idea of consequences does not even cross my mind. If it crosses my mind briefly, then I just suppress it, as it will be on the way to my fulfillment.

 

Smoking, not gonna change very much, no.

An old Chinese guy once bragged to me that tea came from China, while we were drinking tea together, and that he likes to drink tea to stay healthy. It was then that I warned him about the cigarette he was smoking.
