Abstract

Tobacco smoking and air pollution are two public health concerns all over the world and they are also the cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In order to lower the smoking attribute cancer mortality rate, China has implemented several smoking bans since the 1990s. To analyze the effectiveness of the smoking ban in China from the research data done by the previous scientists, smoking bans and actions from other countries will be used. The smoking ban in China is useful in some way but still has to be improvised. This paper is to present the laws implemented by the Chinese government and the government of other countries and to compare their effectiveness.
