A Chinese report warning of the dangers of smoking has been praised by the World Health Organization, calling it a "milestone in history."
The Ministry of Health's report, issued on Wednesday, said more than 3 million Chinese would die of smoking-related illnesses each year by 2050 if no measures were taken.
"So far, 173 nations, including China, have pledged to work together to implement the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. However, these tobacco control efforts are systematically opposed by the tobacco industry. We must fight back," Dr Michael O'Leary, WHO representative in China, said.
