This picture was taken off the pages of the South China Morning Post dated 21 Jun 2006. I cannot help but feel the mighty power of the message that this one single photograph carries.
I'll leave you to figure this one out.

Oh no, he is really smoking or just an effect!?!?!? 3. JayWalk left... Pam: Not really, the tobacco industry here is still very much in control by the gahmen-owned enterprises. Foreign tobacco companies have yet to be able to crack open the domestic market to have a share of this lucrative pie.
sunflower: The photo is unfortunately real.

Our local cigarette box should have this photo on it instead of the gruesome photos now. It might help those with children to quit. 8. JayWalk left...

heather: Gosh is right. Man, I cannot tell you how powerful this photo hits me when I opened the papers that morning.

Pa: I also good girl.. quit! Or rather, cutting down.. ahhaa.. But, this is way too young to start and smoke on the street lah. If I rem correctly, I tried when I was like 10yrs old? And not in the public lor! Siao!ris: My ex ex bf is working in zhongshan. he told me its a very industrial place. Lotsa factories and stuff. But of cos got shopping mall and restaurants. I think..

maybe that explains why china got a lot of smoker! 12. JayWalk left... Jaslyn & ris: Thanks for helping out with the ZhongShan info. As I am on the opposite side of the Pearl River Delta from ZhongShan, my knowledge across the bank is pretty limited.
BTW, when are you heading up to HK? I may be in HK next week.
sunflower: You bet there are a lot of smokers here. The business is super lucrative. I can't see the gahmen or any other gahmen willing to give up this source of revenue by placing an outright ban on it.
