Every year, second hand smoke kills more than 1,400 people and exposes many others to the risks of cancer.If you are a smoker, please be more considerate and stop forcing others to suffer in restaurants and public places.

The smoking ban in Hong Kong is now partially in effect, however people are still suffering from passive smoking in certain public places and dining establishments until a complete ban comes into play.

Much effort was made by various organizations to persuade legislation to make all smoking indoors illegal by the middle of 2006, but due to ferocious protests from the industry, the smoking ban will not be in full effect until 2009.
