THE Shanghai Public Places Smoking Control Law will be launched from March 1. Revisions to the city's original anti-smoking law make the ban more specific, which include a list of places affected. Smokers are suggested to pay more attention to the public areas where smoking will be prohibited. Individuals who smoke in banned areas will face a fine from 50 yuan to 200 yuan.
