Collaborating with Dr. Dayi Hu, chairman of the Chinese Association on Tobacco Control, we submitted two legislation proposals to the Chinese NPC and to the CPPCC Conference in order to establish a legal smoking age and to increase regulations on tobacco stores.

We surveyed 857 students across five high schools in China, including Beijing, Yucheng, and Henan. Smoking rates varied among high schools, with the highest being 12%, which is more than double that of California.
