There are more than 300 million smokers in China while about one in every three cigarettes smoked in the world is smoked in the country.

There are about 700 million people who are regularly exposed to second-hand smoke.

This means someone in China dies about every 30 seconds due to tobacco use which equates to about 3000 people every day.

WHO warns if China's widespread use of tobacco is not reduced, the number of deaths relating to tobacco each year will increase to three million by 2050 in China.
