An anti-smoking campaign, "Toward a Smoke-free China", has been launched to get people to give up the habit which could be harmful to health.

The campaign was launched in Beijing on Friday with a fund of $125 million. The money was donated by the New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The two-year campaign will be run by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC), Peking Union Medical College and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
