Secondhand smoke kills ― but does anyone care?

I have lived in the state of North Carolina since I was 6 years old, and the popularity of smoking has always been an important topic since tobacco has historically been the state's cash crop. In the past decade, however, the increasing smoking bans and laws against advertising for tobacco products have sincerely hurt North Carolina's tobacco farmers and caused a lot of controversy. The United States has finally realized how dangerous smoking can be, and the government is taking steps to prevent tobacco use. In 2011, 38 states had some form of a smoking ban law, with most banning smoking in public places like restaurants.

But what about China?
