Item from May 12, 1996, in China Daily: The free reign of cigarette smokers is being choked off as a batch of municipal bans begins to snuff out smoking in public places throughout the country.

China is the world's No 1 consumer of cigarettes, with smokers accounting for 34.9 percent of the population ages 15 years and older.

In March, Shanghai became the latest city to ban smoking in indoor public venues, workplaces and on public transit.
