Q: What ever happened to the smoking ban in public buildings in Beijing?

Is it actually a regulation/law yet?
Is it being enforced at all?
Is it completely DOA?

Being a non-smoker, I keep hoping that something with this actually happens. Because second-hand smoke is * awesome*.

Well business are supposed to have a smoking area but they are not forced to enforce said smoking area. There are supposed to be "secret" smoking police that if they catch you smoking where you shouldn't, then they will fine you a few rmb. So basically you can smoke where ever you want and you'll be fine unless it's just your shitty day.

The situation now is nowhere near what it was before. It's been a long time i've not seen anybody smoke in the bus, train, school, hospital. Even the taxi drivers seem to have quit as well... at least in GZ, but GZ seems to be more civilized than some other cities in many aspects

mrpopular:

Have seen many people smoking in hopital staff and patients who has the right to stop them I took a cigarete off someone and shouted at him he looked confused didnt know he was doing wrong

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
