LEGISLATORS in an east China city are in the process of watering down a smoking ban previously touted as China's toughest.
Lawmakers in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, met yesterday to resume deliberations and vote on a revised draft of a bill concerning second-hand smoke.
"Voting was postponed because lawmakers disagreed," said Xu Yongli, an official with the People's Congress in Nanchang. "It has not been decided when the draft will be voted on."
The revised draft eases the smoking ban in office buildings to include only "public areas" and delays the implementation of a ban in restaurants, bars and entertainment venues until 2015 from the original 2013.
