On World No Tobacco Day, students at a sports field in Tangshan, Hebei Province, form the international symbol for „No Smoking“. According to the World Health Organization, one-third of the global smoking population comes from China, with no other country having more regular smokers. The government has been trying to counter this trend for years, particularly in schools. By 2030, Beijing aims to reduce the smoking rate among the population by 20 percent. Whether such sports field activities deter smoking is questionable. However, what is believed to be helpful for smoking cessation is acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine practices.
