About 1.2 million Chinese people die from smoking-related illnesses every year, according to the association.

"With more than 7,000 chemicals, cigarettes usually lead to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and asthma," said Li Qiang, a professor with the Tobacco Control Office of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
