Hmm.. if you are caught smoking in one of Olympic venues, you may have to donate your kidney, liver, and heart to glorious fatherland. You may have no choice.:)

Of course that's after they sentence you to death and shoot you.

And don't forget the bill they send to your family for the bullet.

I guess they'll be using smokeless gunpowder when shooting dissidents.

I don't care what people say. China will never be a superpower.

Imaging how it would feel if lots of tobacco smoke is added in the mix.

A lot of opportunities for organ harvesting. This is the situation where Chinese state cannot lose.

No country will achieve superpower success by restricting the happiness of their people.

Smoking is probably promoted by the Chinese government normally so many people die of cancer earlier to reduce the population.
Lord knows the Chinese government wouldn't pay several hundred thousand each for cancer treatments like we do.

And you know, we have alot of enemies in this world, but for some reason I hate them the most. Arrogant pricks - I can't wait till their 1 trillion in bad loans collapses their economy
