"The current smoking ban lacks impact, not only due to poor enforcement, but also due to the lack of penalties," Suo said. "The situation is especially severe among young people."

The earlier people start smoking, the more difficult it will be for them to quit, Suo said.

As the world's biggest producer and consumer of cigarettes, China has more than 300 million smokers and 740 million people are exposed to second-hand smoke on a regular basis.
