The revised draft is now awaiting review by the Tianjin People’s Congress in June. The Tianjin Tobacco Control Ordinance is expected to be formally implemented within the year. According to sources, the bulk of comments from city residents rested on the flimsiness of punitive measures; the contraction of non-smoking sections in restaurants due to the allowance of a smoking section; and the need for greater emphasis on advocacy.
