Passage 1
No surprisingly, Singapore is striving to become the world's first smoking-free city. In this socially engineered mini-state, where smoking has been under assault for two decades, cigarettes are strictly banned in nearly every public place, selling machines are out-lawed, and tabacco companies are not allowed to sponsor public events. To tame the 16% of the adult population that still smokes, the government may even end the practice in bars.
As the economies of other Asian nations thrive, citizens are paying more attention to their health and pushing for tougher smoking restrictions. Even China, the world’s largest producer and consumer of tobacco, now restricts smoking in public places and bans advertising.
Hong Kong has matched Singapore’s low smoking rate by relying primarily on market forces: a 300% tax in 1983 and an additional 100% tax in 1991.
In Japan politeness prevails:61% of adult males smoke, and little has been done beyond recommending the establishment of non-smoking areas in workplaces. This has led to a small outcropping of carefully marked places where smokers can enjoy themselves.

)
