Intro: Smoking will be banned in certain public areas in Hangzhou, such as hospitals, supermarkets, bars and on buses, from March 1. People will be entitled to stop others smoking or lighting cigarettes in public places and offenders will be liable to a fine of 50 yuan (US$7.32).
The ban will operate as a result of the recently approved "The Bylaw on Smoking Control in Public Areas of Hangzhou" passed by the Standing Committee of Hangzhou Municipal People's Congress and Standing Committee of Zhejiang Provincial People's Congress.
