[quote=APAULT,257889]There is almost nowhere smokefree so I don't think it is possible to organise such trips - unless you want to go camping (hotel rooms normally smell of stale tobacco) and eat at Macdonalds.

There are signs here and there saying smoking is not alowed but invariably there is a smoker or two indulging in their drug addiction immediately beneath the sign. I do note that Guangdong is somewhat better than many other areas, the regulations are generally respected on buses.

The smoking situation is the single biggest negative about China.  Of course, it is easy to be critical but it has been a long hard fight to get smokefree environments in other countries and it has only recently been achieved.  (Why do we allow drug addicts to drive cars, buses and trains???  Nicotine IS a mind altering drug).

I think you are unlikely to get any useful statistics linking smoking and HIV/Aids.  Anyway, I would question any figures made available in China.

I am curious, what is the smoking HIV correlation about?  Are these figures available for other countries?
