The World Health Organization stipulates that May 31st of each year is the World No Tobacco Day, which stipulates that no smoking is allowed or sold around the world, and requires countries to widely publicize the significance of quitting smoking. The policies of various countries on smoking are as follows:

China: On May 29, 218, China CDC and Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei announced the launch of the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Collaborative Development Project on Tobacco Control" yesterday, in order to build a smoke-free Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games in 222 as an opportunity to jointly promote a smoke-free environment in the three places.

2. United States: On June 22nd, 29, US President Barack Obama signed the bill of "Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act". The Food and Drug Administration has the right to reduce the nicotine content of tobacco products, prohibit cigarettes from being made into candy flavors to attract young people, and prohibit misleading labels such as "low tar" or "mild" on tobacco products. Tobacco companies will also be required to cover advertising pictures on cigarette boxes with words such as "smoking is harmful". Even in the United States, illegal smokers are fined up to $5, and repeat offenders may be sentenced to imprisonment.
