Graphic cigarette warnings find support among public

Nearly 90 percent of Chinese approve of graphic health warnings - like pictures of black lungs and throat cancer - being printed on cigarette packages to deter smokers, primarily new smokers, according to an online survey.

More than 13,000 people responded to the survey launched by China Daily and Netease News.

Duan Tieli, deputy director of the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, said during the two sessions that China wouldn't use the visual warning labels, stating that they don't conform with "Chinese cultural tradition". He's also a legislator.
