The health toll is enormous as well: Tobacco causes roughly 1 million deaths in China each year, including 100,000 fatalities blamed on secondhand smoke, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). If tobacco use is not curtailed, WHO warns, China\u2019s death toll could rise to 3 million each year by 2050.The nation\u2019s capital, Beijing, is taking that chilling message to heart. On 28 November, the Beijing Municipal Government adopted a ban on smoking in all indoor public places\u2014&quot;with no loopholes and no exemptions,&quot; crowed Bernhard Schwartl\u00e4nder, the WHO representative in China, in a press release. The new law will take effect on 1 June 2015.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork\/~4\/w1CvkqQczVw\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-9881","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
