China having the most smokers in the world needs to do something to help fight the addiction, and help stop underage people from starting this bad habit. Controlling smoking in film and television may be a way to help fight smoking. As every one knows movies and TV play a major part of peoples lives in todays societies, and many people are influenced by them. If smoking is controlled in moves to not allow underage people smoke, and of age people smoking less; it may help lessen the influence of smoking in film and Television.

I find this quite funny only because it reminds me of the sterotypical chinese or asian man. Everytime I return to Malaysia (my village has a large Chinese population) I always see little chinese men, squatting and smoking a cigarette or eating sunflower seeds. Not the best of sites and I must agree with Spencer a large amount of Asian men smoke; however, it will always be their choice in what they do.
