A somewhat biased view on China…
Aiai, a 26 years old Chimpanzee, began to smoke in 1989 after her first husband died. After the death of her second husband and one of her children in 1997, she started to smoke more heavily, becoming a real addict.
The authorities of the Qinling Zoo in Xi’an announced 2 days ago that they are planning to help her to stop. One of the first measure will be to find her a new mate!

JayJay, you can help this chimp to stop to smoke with a short “chattertone” put at the right place … unfortunately the chimp will be addict to you after that …
