Antismoking advocates often complain about smoking levels in Canada but our problems pale beside those of China, where it is estimated that 300 million people already smoke and more are being encouraged to do so by Western advertising. To its credit, the Chinese government is taking steps to discourage smoking as it prepares to host the 10th World Conference on Tobacco and Health in 1997. By 2025, smoking-related disease is expected to kill 2 million Chinese a year.
反吸烟倡导者常常抱怨加拿大的吸烟情况，然而与中国面临的问题相比，我们的问题就显得微不足道了。据估计，中国已有3亿人吸烟，而且西方广告还在促使更多人吸烟。值得称赞的是，中国政府在准备主办1997年第十届世界烟草与健康大会之际，正采取措施抑制吸烟。到2025年，预计与吸烟相关的疾病每年将导致200万中国人死亡。
