problems and may not develop mentally as quickly as their peers.
Other research by the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center has found that more than 80 percent of child patients in the center live in a smoke-filled household, where one or both parents smoke.
“Though doctors have stressed the harm of passive smoking over and over, it is still hard to reach a totally smoke-free home,” said a pediatrician named Zhang Yiwen, noting that parents are often
tempted to smoke even though they have learned the harmful effects of second-hand smoke.
China has 540 million people suffering from passive smoke, 180 million of them younger than 15.The age of smokers is also getting lower, earlier reports said.
“There are more young smokers than before. You can see young people wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag light a cigarette on the street. Some of them are even female students,” said Jing Xingming, a professor of children’s developmental behavior at the center.
“Children like to imitate adults, especially their parents. If parents often smoke at home, it is very likely children will develop a smoking habit, which can cause a vicious circle,” Jin said.
Reports from the Ministry of Health said China has about 350 million smokers, of whom 15 million are underage smokers. Also , around 40 million of the country’s 130 million children aged between 13 and 18 had tried smoking, and 15 million had become addicted to tobacco.

On May 16, t*he death of 25-year-old Tan Zhuo, crushed by a speeding sports car in the hands of a 20-year-old college student Hu Bin in Hangzhou, is arguably the most high-profile road accident in recent times. On October 24, three 19-year-old college students from Yangtze University in Jingzhou, Hubei province, sacrificed their lives to save two boys who had been swept away by strong tides along the riverbank of the Yangtze River.
