Littering a cigarette butt at a public venue could incur a CNY 20-200 fine. The Provisional Regulations give passive smokers the right to ask a person to stop smoking in a public venue. They are also entitled to ask operators of venues where smoking is prohibited to stop people from smoking as required by law; and they have the right to report violations to the health administration or other competent supervisory agency.
