More guts but no more lip service

Ask a chain smoker to kick the butt, and in all probability he'll tell you he's tried quitting a hundred times before.
That's one of the reasons I wonder how the Shanghai Municipal Office on Tobacco hopes to pull off its plan to extend the smoking ban from public places to all indoor workplaces.
Just like all previous efforts and rules on tobacco control, the office didn't exactly say how it was planning to achieve the goal, or who was going to effectively enforce it. Or is it just another New Year resolution, like the one smokers make every year ?
