"Officials doing so can help change the overall atmosphere in the society," she said. "We have seen changes after the eight-point rules came out. This announcement will be as effective," she said.
The eight-point rules were issued by the CPC Central Committee in 2017 to curb extravagance and bureaucracy among government officials, and have helped reduce the inappropriate use of public funds.
Also, the statement said government officials should accept supervision by the public and media, and the departments they work in should warn those who violate smoking bans and smoke in public places, and punish those who have been a bad influence.
However, both Wu and Jiang believe it's important to pass a national-level law banning smoking in public places.
