    China faces significant challenges in tobacco control due to the tobacco industry's influence over policymaking and the widespread social acceptability of smoking. The tobacco industry yields large tax revenues for the Chinese government, causing it to prioritize these financial interests over public health. Surveys show most Chinese smokers are unaware of the health risks of smoking and want to quit but find it difficult due to social and cultural factors that normalize tobacco use.
