Shenzhen has witnessed large progress in banning smoking indoors recently. Teachers and parents follow the regulations not to smoke at school anymore.

But problems still exist in other public areas, especially at the office, "Though smoking areas have been set, they prefer to smoke at rest rooms or office and it's embarrassed to ask them out for colleagues." Mrs Chen working in municipal government said.

Besides, taxis and rest rooms in the hospital are also the concentration area for some smokers.
