It seems that the anti smoking movement has even managed to score a success with one of the world's heaviest smoking nations, China.
It has been announced that for the duration of the Olympics, smoking will be banned; in the Olympic areas at least.
Beijing will ban smoking on public transport and indoor workplaces.
The Health Ministry said:
"Let a smokeless games provide healthy competition, a healthy environment and a healthy lifestyle."
The ministry said that facilities serving children would be the first to get a no-smoking ban.
Quite how they manage to enforce this in a nation of 350 smokers, will be anyone's guess!
